X equals 13!!!! :))


Simplifying
8x + -29 + 6x + -11 + 3x + -1 = 180

Reorder the terms:
-29 + -11 + -1 + 8x + 6x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: -29 + -11 = -40
-40 + -1 + 8x + 6x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: -40 + -1 = -41
-41 + 8x + 6x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: 8x + 6x = 14x
-41 + 14x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: 14x + 3x = 17x
-41 + 17x = 180

Solving
-41 + 17x = 180

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '41' to each side of the equation.
-41 + 41 + 17x = 180 + 41

Combine like terms: -41 + 41 = 0
0 + 17x = 180 + 41
17x = 180 + 41

Combine like terms: 180 + 41 = 221
17x = 221

Divide each side by '17'.
x = 13

Simplifying
x = 13
