Answer:
I got an answer of 62
Explanation:
First, you need to find the like terms in the problem
In this equation the like terms are
- 7x and 10x subtract them and you will get 3x
- -8 and 14 subtract them and get 6
Now your equation looks like this:
3x-6=180
Now on both sides of the equal sign add 6
You can do "-6+6" because it will cancel so cross it and then "180+6" which is just 186
So now you have 3x=186
Now divide 3 into both sides of the equal sign
"3x/3" will cancel out and will leave you with just "x"
Then divide 186 and 3 and that's your answer
x=62
