Solve for x

Answer 1

Solve an Equation

Question:

`\text{5x - 12 + 3x + 6 = 180}`

Answer:

• x = 23.25

Steps:

We can see that we can start by combining some like terms on the left-hand side.

`\dashrightarrow\sf{5x+3x+6-12=180}`

`\dashrightarrow\sf{8x-6=180}`

Add 6 on both sides:

`\dashrightarrow\sf{8x=186}`

Divide both sides by 8:

`\dashrightarrow\sf{x=23.25}`

Therefore, x = 23.25.
