I assume you're looking for the value of x?
Combine like terms: 8x+5x+2x-11+6=180 -> 15x-5=180
Add 5 to both sides: 15x=185
Divide both sides by 15: x=12 1/3
So x is 12 1/3 or 37/3
Hope this helped!
Answer: 13 (and Sally will always be 3 years older than Jill)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S and J stand for Sally and Jill's ages. We are told:
- (S-5) = (J-5)+3 [Sally is 3 years older than Jill was <u>5 years ago</u>] The 5 years ago is the reason for the (S-5) and (J-5) expressions.
If Jill is 10, how old is Sally?
(S-5) = (J-5)+3
(S-5) = (10-5)+3
S-5 = 8
S = 13
We actually don't really need an equation for solving this, other than the question asks us to write one. It doesn't matter how many years later, since Sally is 3 years older, she will always remain 3 years older, if we ignore the likelihood that the statement doesn't hold true for the period between their actual birthdays.

Answer:
The answer is
One: 28, 29, 30
Two: 75,77
Step-by-step explanation:
One
Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1
(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 = 75 Remove the brackets
x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75 Combine the like terms on the left
3x - 12 = 75 Add 12 to both sides
3x = 75 + 12
3x = 87 Divide by 3
x = 87/3
x = 29
Two
Let the first odd number = 2x -1
Let the second odd number = 2x + 1
2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170 Combine like terms on the left.
4x + 18 = 170 Subtract 18 from both sides.
4x = 170 - 18 Combine like terms on the right
4x = 152 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 152/4
x = 38
2 * 38 - 1 = 75
2 * 38 + 1 = 77
