Answer: the answer to this question is X = 25
The degree for 5x - 5 = 5(25) - 5 = 120 degrees (we are putting 25 in for x to get the sum of the degree)
The degree for 2x+10 = 2(25)+10 = 60 degrees (we are putting 25 in for x to get the sum of the degree)
Let's walk through the steps:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−5+2x+10=180
5x+−5+2x+10=180
(5x+2x)+(−5+10)=180 (Combine Like Terms)
7x+5=180
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
7x+5−5=180−5
7x=175
Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.
7x/7 = 175/7
x = 25
