Answer:

x = 33

Explanation:

(3x - 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184

3x - 9 + x + x + 28 = 184

5x - 9 + 28 = 184

5x + 19 = 184

-19 -19

5x = 165

/5 /5

x = 33

Answer: x= 33

Step-by-step explanation: First, combine like terms.

5x +19 = 184

Isolate x by subtracting 19 from each side.

5x = 165.

Divide by 5 on each side.

X = 33
