Answer:
x = 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 4:
x + 120 + 2x = 720
3x = 600 . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 120
x = 200 . . . . . . . divide by 3
_____
<em>Check</em>
(200/4 +30) +(200/2) = 180
(50 +30) + 100 = 180
80 + 100 = 180 . . . . . true
_____ _____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you like, you can simply work with the equation given.
(3/4)x + 30 = 180 . . . . collect terms
(3/4)x = 150 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/3
Just combine like terms: all of the x^2 together, all of the x's together and all of the numbers:
3x2+5x2+5x-2-1
8x2+5x-3 simplified, so letter A
This is how I would go about solving this, hope it helps.
Is there a picture I can look at?
