x = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (2x - 36) = 180
3x - 36 = 180
3x = 180 + 36
3x = 216
x = 216/3
x = 72

The problem statement appears to be trying to tell you that 60 million barrels of crude were processed, resulting in 34% of that volume being turned into gasoline, which was then sold for a total of $408 million. You are asked for the revenue associated with 1 barrel of gasoline.
($408·10^6)/(60·10^6 bbl × 0.34) = $408/(20.4 bbl) = $20/bbl
The income from one barrel of gasoline is $20.00.
