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

Sagot :

Solve for x

[tex]2x+x+5=180[/tex]

Add similar elements

[tex]3x+5=180[/tex]

Subtract 5 from both sides

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x+5-5=180-5 \\ 3x=175 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{175}{3} \\ x=58.33 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: x = 58.33
