• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

(180 - x) + (90 - x) = 124

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Combine like terms: 270 - 2x = 124
2. Subtract 270 on both sides: -2x = -146
3. Divide -2 on both sides: x = 73

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute: (180 - 73) + (90 - 73) = 124
2. Subtract: 107 + 17 = 124
3. Add: 124 = 124
