x = 5

Step-by-step explanation

70 + 23x - 5 + 110 + 14x = 360

first you group the like terms

23x + 14x + 70 - 5 + 110 = 360

then combine the like terms

23x + 14x 70 - 5 + 110

37x + 175 = 360

subtract 175 from both sides

175 - 175 = 0 360 - 175 = 185

to get

37x = 185

divide both sides by 37

37x/37 = 0 185/37= 5

which gives you

x = 5
