Question

(5x-60)+(2x+40)+(3x-80)=180

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-60)+(2x+40)+(3x-80)=180

First, add/subtract like terms.   5x+2x+3x = 10x  /   180+60-40+80 = 280

Tip: When moving numbers to the other side of an equation, the sign changes. For example -60 now becomes +60.

Next, Divide.   10x/10 = x and 280/10 = 28

You divide by ten because your trying to get x by itself so, if you divide by ten, x will be by itself.

Lastly, simplify.  x = 28

Check it by switching x with 28

Hope this helped, Love!
