Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms:
23x and 6x are like terms so we add them together. 23x + 6x is 29x
Now you have the equation, 140 = 29x - 5.
Add both sides by 5. 140 + 5 = 145; -5 + 5 (cancels out)
Now your left with, 145 = 29x
Divide both sides by 29. 29x divided by 29 = x; 145 divided by 29 = 5.
Therefore, x = 5.
