Question

Fill in the blank question.

Find the values of x and y.

(2x+25)+(3x-10)=180

Answer 1

x=33

Explanation:

(2x+25)+(3x-10)=180

2x+25+3x-10=180

2x+3x+25-10=180

5x+15=180

5x=180-15

5x=165

5x/5=165/5

therefore x=33

Answer 2

x=33

Explanation:

Simplifying 2x + 25 + 3x + -10 = 180 Reorder the terms: 25 + -10 + 2x + 3x = 180 Combine like terms: 25 + -10 = 15 15 + 2x + 3x = 180 Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x 15 + 5x = 180 Solving 15 + 5x = 180 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-15' to each side of the equation. 15 + -15 + 5x = 180 + -15 Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0 0 + 5x = 180 + -15 5x = 180 + -15 Combine like terms: 180 + -15 = 165 5x = 165 Divide each side by '5'. x = 33 Simplifying x = 33
