Question

Determine the value of x in the diagram below

Answer 1

x =32

Explanation:

create equation

180 = 3x + 20 + 2x

combine like terms

180= 3x + 20 + 2x

180=5x + 20

subtract 20 from both sides of the equation

180=5x + 20

180-20= 5x +20 -20

simplify

160= 5x

divided both sides by 5

160/5=5x/5

solution

32= x
