SOLUTION: Can you breakdown or simplify the follwing for my understanding: 1. 6x-5+3x-29 2. 5x+3+6x-11=8x+25 3. 4(-x-2)+5=-2(2x+7)

Question 54329: Can you breakdown or simplify the follwing for my understanding:
1. 6x-5+3x-29
2. 5x+3+6x-11=8x+25
3. 4(-x-2)+5=-2(2x+7)

Equation 1 expands to 9x-34 after combining like terms.
Equation 2 becomes 11x-8=8x+25 after combining like terms. Subtracting 8x from both sides yields 3x-8=25, and then adding 8 to both sides gives us 3x=33. Divding both sides by 3 produces x=11.
Equation 3 expands to -4x-8+5=-4x-14, which reduces to -4x-3=-4x-14 after combining terms. Adding 4x to both sides gives us -3=-14, which is inconsistent.
