This algebra poster breaks down the process of solving two-step equations into clear, manageable steps that students can easily follow.

Let’s solve the equation step by step:

We are given:
-3x + 5 = 29

Step 1: Get rid of the "+5" on the left side.

To do that, we subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

Left side: -3x + 5 - 5 → becomes -3x
Right side: 29 - 5 → becomes 24

Now the equation is:
-3x = 24

Step 2: Solve for x by getting rid of the "-3" multiplied by x.

To undo multiplication by -3, we divide both sides by -3.

Left side: -3x ÷ (-3) → becomes x
Right side: 24 ÷ (-3) → becomes -8

So now we have:
x = -8

✔ Let’s check our answer to make sure it’s correct.

Plug x = -8 back into the original equation:
-3(-8) + 5 = ?
→ 24 + 5 = 29 ✔ That matches the right side!

Final Answer:
x = -8
