Question

2x +8 + (71-x)=180
I really need help ASAP

Answer 1

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`
