Question

Find x

x+4+4x-8+7x-35=180

Answer 1

Answer: x = 18.25

Step-by-step explanation: x + 4x + 7x = 12x.

180 + 35 - 4 + 8 = 219.

219/12 = 18.25

Answer 2

x = 73/4

Explanation:

Solve for x:

12 x - 39 = 180

Add 39 to both sides:

12 x + (39 - 39) = 39 + 180

39 - 39 = 0:

12 x = 180 + 39

180 + 39 = 219:

12 x = 219

Divide both sides of 12 x = 219 by 12:

(12 x)/12 = 219/12

12/12 = 1:

x = 219/12

The gcd of 219 and 12 is 3, so 219/12 = (3×73)/(3×4) = 3/3×73/4 = 73/4:

Answer: x = 73/4
