You need to use a common denominator. The least common denominator of 11 and 22 is 22.
3/22 + -1/11 = 3/22 + -2/22 = 3/22 - 2/22 = 1/22
Multply both equations by 2 leaving
x + 2y = 8
x - 2y = -2
Add the equations giving
2x = 6
x = 3
Substitute 3 in the top equation
3 + 2y = 8
2y = -5
y = -2.5

Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x+4)+(x-2)+(3x+7) = 180
5x+4+x-2+3x+7 = 180
9x+9 = 180
9x = 171
x = 171/9
x = 19
