Answer 1

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
