Question 10271


   5(x-3)-7(6-x)+29 = 50 - 3(8-x)
=  5x-15-42+7x+29 = 50-24+3x  .........  removed the brackets
=  12x-28 = 3x+26
=  12x-3x = 26+28 = 54
=  9x  =  54
=  x = {{{54/9}}} = 6
So x = 6  Answer.

   First, you remove the brackets and start simplifying. Bring all the 
   x to one side and values other side.  It will then be easy for you
   to solve the problem.
