Answer:

x = 62

Explanation:

First simplify the sum before the equals sign

3x - 6 = 180

Then, take six onto the other side of the equals sign

3x = 180 + 6

The sign changes when, taken to the other side.

3x = 186

To find x you have to take 3 to the other side (remember the sign changes)

x = 186/3

Once 186 id divided by 3 you will get the answer

x = 62

Hey there!


\large\boxed{x=62}

2x + 1 + x - 7 = 180

Let's start by simplifying like terms.

3x - 6 = 180

Add 6 to each side to isolate x.

3x = 186

Divide each side by 3 to eliminate the coefficient.

x = 62

Hope this helps!
