Question

What are the steps of 5x+1+12x-8=180?

Answer 1

x = 11

Explanation:

First put all the number on one side so its easier to add them up.

add the x's then do the regular numbers.

5x + 12x = -1 + 8 + 180

17x = 187

Then simplify it. so 17 can go into 187 11 times.

X = 11

Hope this helps, have a great day! :)

Answer 2

Combine like terms: (5x+12x)+(1+−8)=180

17x- 7 = 180

Add 7 to both sides: 17x = 187

Divide by 17: x=11
