Answer:

  • 12x + 0 = 180
  • x = 15

Explanation:

You are given the equation 8x -3 +4x +3 = 180 and asked to simplify it and solve for x.

Simplified

Collecting terms, we have ...

(8 +4)x +(-3 +3) = 180

12x + 0 = 180

Dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...

x = 180/12 = 15

The value of x is 15.
