Hi,

Answer: 42.5

This can be solved in 5 steps!

My Numerical work:

Combine like terms:

1. 5x + 20 + 3x =360

2. 8x +20 = 360

Subtract 20 with 360:

3. 8x = 340

Divide 8 with 340

4. 340 / 8

5. X = 42.5

I Hope I Helped!

5x+20+3x=360\\ \\ (5x+3x)+20=360\\ \\ 8x+20=360\\ \\ 8x=360-20\\ \\ 8x=340\\ \\ x=42.5

Hope this helps!
