Given the statement:

The sum of a number and 11 is 29.

Representation:

This can be written as,

11 + x =29

Solution:

We can find the number by computing the value of x. The first step is to transpose 11 on the other side of the equation, hence in transposing a number, the sign changes.

11 + x = 29

x = 29 -11

x = 18

Final answer:

Representation: 11 +x = 29

x = 18
