Hi, Boo, Mind stating what your objective is? In other words, what's your goal in tackling this problem?

hese are the anwser they gave A.-4,B.-18,C.204,D.-144

OpenStudy (mathmale):

What I'm encouraging you to do is to type: "given 6x+29=5, solve for x." Then the situation usually becomes clearer for everyone involved. zeinas is on the right track in that he/she subtracted 29 from both sides of your original equation to get 6x=-24.

Then he/she divided the result by 6 to solve for x alone: (6x=-24)/6 => x = -4. Make sense to you?
