Answer:

X = 42

Explanation:

3X + 54 = 180

To find X, collect like terms

3X = 180 - 54

3X = 126

Divide both sides by coefficient of X to eliminate 3 and get X

3X/3 = 126/3

X = 42

CHECK : 3(42) = 126

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:


x = 42

Here’s why:

  • We will use inverse operations to solve for 'x'.

\boxed{\text{Calculating the Answer....}}\\\\3x+54=180\\----------\\\rightarrow 3x + 54 - 54 = 180-54\\\\\rightarrow 3x = 126\\\\\rightarrow(3x=126)/(3)\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{x=42}

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
