Answer 1

1. x = 58

2. x = 44

Explanation:

#1:

2x + 5 + x + 2x + 7 + x = 360

Step 1: Combine 2x, x, 2x, and x to get 6x.

6x + 5 + 7 = 360

Step 2: Add 5 & 7 to get 12.

6x + 12 = 360

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides

6x = 360 - 12

6x = 348

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

x = 348/6

x = 58

#2:

3x + 2 + 2x + 2x + 1 + x + 5 = 360

Step 1: Combine like terms.

8x + 2 + 1 + 5 = 360

8x + 8 = 360

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

8x = 360 - 8

8x = 352

Step 3: Divide both sides by 8.

x = 352/8

x = 44
