Question

2x+x+5=180 How do I find x?

Answer 1

Solve for x

`2x+x+5=180`

Add similar elements

`3x+5=180`

Subtract 5 from both sides

`\begin{gathered} 3x+5-5=180-5 \\ 3x=175 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 3

`\begin{gathered} (3x)/(3)=(175)/(3) \\ x=58.33 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = 58.33
