\text{Hey there!}


\text{Note: This line/triangle have a degree of 180}


\text{Firstly, you have to set up your equation, which is:}
\text{x + 100 + 3x =180}


\text{Next, COMBINE your like terms: x + 3x}


\text{x + 3x = 4x (Side note: the x by itself is equal to a(n) invisible 1)}


\text{100 stays the same because it doesn't have a like term}


\text{4x + 100 = 180}


\text{Thirdly, we have to SUBTRACT by 100 on your sides:}
\text{4x + 100 - 100}\\\text{180 - 100}


\text{Cancel out: 100 - 100 because it equals to 0}


\text{Keep: 180 - 100 because it helps us solve for our answer}


\text{Our new equation becomes: 4x = 80}


\text{Fourthly, we have to DIVIDE by 4 on each of your sides:}
(4x)/(4)=(80)/(4)


\text{Cancel out:}(4x)/(4)\text{ because it gives us the result of 1}


\text{Keep:}(80)/(4)\text{ because it helps us solve for our answer}


\uparrow\text{If you solved the kept answer correctly you would have your answer for x}


\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer: x = 20}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
