If $3x+5=29$, what is the value of $x$?
To solve for $x$, I need to isolate it on one side of the equation. First, I can subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate the constant term on the left. This gives me $3x=24$. Next, I can divide both sides by 3 to get rid of the coefficient of $x$. This results in $x=8$. I can check my answer by plugging it back into the original equation and seeing if it makes it true. I get $3(8)+5=29$, which is correct. So $x=8$ is the solution.
