Step-by-step explanation:

6x+3+75=180

6x+78=180

6x=180-78

6x=102

x=102/6

x=17

Answer:

x = 17

Explanation:

Given equation:

(6x + 3) + 75 = 180

Subtract 75 from both sides:

⇒ (6x + 3) + 75 - 75 = 180 - 75

⇒ 6x + 3 = 105

Subtract 3 from both sides:

⇒ 6x + 3 - 3 = 105 - 3

⇒ 6x = 102

Divide both sides by 6:

⇒ 6x ÷ 6 = 102 ÷ 6

x = 17
