Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(5x + -3) + (2x + -1) = 180

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 5x) + (2x + -1) = 180

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + 5x)

-3 + 5x + (2x + -1) = 180

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 5x + (-1 + 2x) = 180

Remove parenthesis around (-1 + 2x)

-3 + 5x + -1 + 2x = 180

Reorder the terms:

-3 + -1 + 5x + 2x = 180

Combine like terms: -3 + -1 = -4

-4 + 5x + 2x = 180

Combine like terms: 5x + 2x = 7x

-4 + 7x = 180

Solving

-4 + 7x = 180

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 7x = 180 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 7x = 180 + 4

7x = 180 + 4

Combine like terms: 180 + 4 = 184

7x = 184

Divide each side by '7'.

x = 26.28571429
