Question

132
(3x + 9)
find value of X​

Answer 1

Simplifying

• 132 + 3x + 9 = 180

Reorder the terms:

132 + 9 + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: 132 + 9 = 141

141 + 3x = 180

• Solving

141 + 3x = 180

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-141' to each side of the equation.

141 + -141 + 3x = 180 + -141

Combine like terms: 141 + -141 = 0

0 + 3x = 180 + -141

3x = 180 + -141

Combine like terms: 180 + -141 = 39

3x = 39

Divide each side by '3'.

• x = 13

Simplifying

• x = 13
