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
