Hey there!
[tex]\large\boxed{x=62}[/tex]
2x + 1 + x - 7 = 180
Let's start by simplifying like terms.
3x - 6 = 180
Add 6 to each side to isolate x.
3x = 186
Divide each side by 3 to eliminate the coefficient.
x = 62
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 62
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify the sum before the equals sign
3x - 6 = 180
Then, take six onto the other side of the equals sign
3x = 180 + 6
The sign changes when, taken to the other side.
3x = 186
To find x you have to take 3 to the other side (remember the sign changes)
x = 186/3
Once 186 id divided by 3 you will get the answer
x = 62
