Question

Use the diagram and the following equation to solve for x.

Answer 1

Starting with 113+ (2x+5)=180, combine like terms and to get 118+2x=180.  Subtract 180-118, which gives you 62.  Then you have 2x=62.  Divide both sides by 2 to get a final answer of x=31.

Answer 2

Hey there!!

Given :

... 113 + ( 2x + 5 ) = 180

Subtract 113 on both sides

... 2x + 5 = 180 - 113

... 2x + 5 = 67

Subtract 5 on both sides

... 2x = 62

Divide by 2 on both sides

... x = 31

The value of x is 31.

Hope my answer helps!!
