It can't they have no common factor
-9 and 16 add to make 7 and multiply to make -144
Here is the equation you should use: x + 2x - 12 = 180
You will be solving for x.
Combine like terms then add twelve to both sides of the equation.
3x = 192
Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation.
x = 64
Now, plug 64 in the equation for x.
2(64) - 12 = 116
