Answer 1

x =7

Explanation:

( 10x -1) +(17x -8 ) =180

step 1 : since you have a plus sign in between it make it easy

so take care of the parentheses first

10x -1 + 17x - 8 = 180

step 2 : put together thw variable x

10x + 17x -1 -8 = 180

27x -9 =180

step 3 : take out -9 to the right and the sign will change

27x = 180 +9

27x = 189

x = 189 ÷ 27

x = 7

27x-9=180

27x=189

x=7
