Question

What is the measurement of x in the equation. 8x+5x+2x-11+6=180

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 37/3 = 12.333

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  15x - 185  =   5 • (3x - 37)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    5   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    3x-37 = 0

Add  37  to both sides of the equation :

                     3x = 37

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    x = 37/3 = 12.333
