Answer


x=350

Explanation

Based on the given conditions, formulate:
36+2 ×
x=736

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation:
2x=736-36

Calculate the sum or difference:
2x=700

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable:
x=700 ÷
2

Calculate the product or quotient:
x=350

get the result:
x=350

Answer:
x=350
