Answer 2

Answer:

Hence we get the value of x $= -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data in given equation

In above question it is given that

We have find the value of given expression

Given the data in question  5 - 8x =29

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side.

So, we will shift 5 from LHS to RHS the sign will change from positive  to negative,

As we get ,

$5-8x=29$

$-8x=29-5\\-8x=24$

Separating constant term shifting 8 from LHS to RHS that will shift in denominator

As we get,

$-8x=24\\x=\frac{24}{8} \\x=-3$
