Question

6x+(x-2)=180 solve this and explain

Answer 1

Simplify 6x + (x + -2) = 180
6x + (-2 + x) = 180
  Remove parenthesis around (-2 + x) 6x + -2 + x = 180
 Reorder  -2 + 6x + x = 180
 Combine like terms: 6x + x = 7x -2 + 7x = 180
  -2 + 7x = 180
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + 7x = 180 + 2
 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + 7x = 180 + 2 7x = 180 + 2
 Combine like terms: 180 + 2 = 182 7x = 182
 Divide each side by '7'. x = 26
 Simplified answer x = 26

Answer 2

Simplifying 6x + (x + -2) = 180
 Reorder the terms: 6x + (-2 + x) = 180
 Remove parenthesis around (-2 + x) 6x + -2 + x = 180
 Reorder the terms: -2 + 6x + x = 180
 Combine like terms: 6x + x = 7x -2 + 7x = 180
 Solving -2 + 7x = 180
 Solving for variable 'x'.
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + 7x = 180 + 2
 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + 7x = 180 + 2 7x = 180 + 2
 Combine like terms: 180 + 2 = 182 7x = 182
 Divide each side by '7'. x = 26
 Simplifying x = 26
