Answer:

x=54.5

Explanation:

1. Combine like terms

x+62+x+9=180

2x+71=180

You can only combine the x and 62 and 9 in this equation.

2. Subtraction property of equality

2x+71=180

-71 = -71

2x=109

Subtract 71 from both sides to isolate the variable, x.

3. Division property of equality

2x=109

/2 /2

x=54.5

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=54.5

Explanation:

x+62+x+9=180

2x+71=180

2x+71-71=180-71(subtract 71 from both sides)

2x=109

2x/2=109/2(divide both sides by 2)

x=54.5
