Step-by-step solution

To solve the equation 8x+3=29 -8x + 3 = -29 , we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant on the left side.
  • Step 2: Divide both sides by 8-8, the coefficient of xx, to solve for xx.

Let's apply these steps:
Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides:
8x+33=293-8x + 3 - 3 = -29 - 3
This simplifies to:
8x=32-8x = -32

Step 2: Divide both sides by 8-8 to isolate xx:
8x8=328\frac{-8x}{-8} = \frac{-32}{-8}
This results in:
x=4x = 4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=4 x = 4 , which corresponds to choice 4.
