Answer:

13

Explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 6 + 7x + -11 + 41 + 62 + 6x + -5 + 4x + 7 = 360

Reorder the terms:

6 + -11 + 41 + 62 + -5 + 7 + 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 6 + -11 = -5

-5 + 41 + 62 + -5 + 7 + 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: -5 + 41 = 36

36 + 62 + -5 + 7 + 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 36 + 62 = 98

98 + -5 + 7 + 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 98 + -5 = 93

93 + 7 + 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 93 + 7 = 100

100 + 3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 3x + 7x = 10x

100 + 10x + 6x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 10x + 6x = 16x

100 + 16x + 4x = 360

Combine like terms: 16x + 4x = 20x

100 + 20x = 360

Solving

100 + 20x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-100' to each side of the equation.

100 + -100 + 20x = 360 + -100

Combine like terms: 100 + -100 = 0

0 + 20x = 360 + -100

20x = 360 + -100

Combine like terms: 360 + -100 = 260

20x = 260

Divide each side by '20'.

x = 13

Simplifying

x = 13
