Answer: x=26
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 3x + 50 = 180
Reorder the terms:
50 + 2x + 3x = 180
Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x
50 + 5x = 180
Solving
50 + 5x = 180
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-50' to each side of the equation.
50 + -50 + 5x = 180 + -50
Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
0 + 5x = 180 + -50
5x = 180 + -50
Combine like terms: 180 + -50 = 130
5x = 130
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 26
Simplifying
x = 26
