x = 92/11, x = 8.36 repeating the .36, or x = 8 4/11

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 92/11

Explanation:

10x + 1 + 12x - 5 = 180

*group the like terms*

(10x + 12x) + (1-5) = 180

*simplify*

22x - 4 = 180

*add four on both sides to cancel out -4*

+4. +4

*simplify*

22x = 184

*divide both sides by 22 to cancel out the quantity and solve for x*

÷22 ÷22

*simplify*

x = 92/11
