Solve the equation 4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)

To solve an equation for x we will try to isolate x. Hence, first step is to use the distributive property. Therefore,

4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)

4x + 29 = 5 - 8x - 48

4x + 29 = - 43 -8x Combine the like terms.

4x + 29 + 8x = -43 Add 8x to each sides of the equation.

12x + 29 = -43

12x = -43 - 29 Subtract 29 from each sides.

12x = -72

So, x =- 6

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
