Answer:
x=101

Move all terms to the left


2x+8+(71-x)-(180)=0

Add all the numbers together, and all the variables


2x+(-1x+71)+8-180=0

Add all the numbers together, and all the variables


2x+(-1x+71)-172=0

Get rid of parentheses


2x-1x+71-172=0

Add all the numbers together, and all the variables


x-101=0
