Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, first we need to make the equation easier to read.

So instead of:

8x - (-5) = 29

We will do:

8x + 5 = 29

(Note that we have a plus sign now, because subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.)

Next we move the 5 to the other side of the equal sign, by subtracting it.

Now we have:

8x = 24

Finally we isolate the x variable, by dividing by 8 on both sides.

(24 ÷ 8 = 3)

Our answer is 3, therefore x = 3.

Hope this helps you :)
