ANSWERS:


\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow X=(115)/(2)=57.5 }}

EXPLANATIONS:

GIVEN:

You have to isolate by the x on one side of the equation.

SOLUTIONS:

First, subtract 65 from both sides.


\displaystyle \mathsf{2x+65-65=180-65}

Solve.

Subtract.


\displaystyle \mathsf{180-65=115}


\displaystyle \mathsf{2x=115}

Next, divide by 2 from both sides.


\displaystyle \mathsf{(2x)/(2)=(115)/(2)}

Solve.

Divide.


\displaystyle \mathsf{115/2=\boxed{57.5}}


\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow X=(115)/(2)=57.5 }}

Furthermore, the final answer is x=115/2=57.5.
