Answer 1

Answer:

1. x = 86

2. x = 31

3. x = 64

4. x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x + 8 = 180

-8 -8

2x = 180 (divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself)

2. 3x - 3 = 90

+ 3 +3

3x = 93 (divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself. you divide because 3x is multiplying and you have to do the reverse operation)

3. 2x -5 + x - 7 = 180 (you combine like-terms)

3x -12 = 180

+12 +12

3x = 192 (you divide by 3 on both sides)

4. x + 1 + x + 4 + x - 2 = 90 (combine like-terms)

3x + 3 = 90

-3 -3

3x = 87 (divide both sides by 3)
