Question

How do you find x?(20x+5) + (24x-1) = 180

Answer 1

We have the following equation given:

$(20x+5)+(24x-1)=\text{ 180}$

We can aggrupate similar terms in the left of the equation and we got:

$(20x+24x)\text{ +(5}-1\text{)= 180}$

And solving we got:

$44x\text{ = 180}-4=\text{ 176}$

And if we divide both sides by 44 we got:

$x\text{= }\frac{176}{44}=\text{ 4}$
