solve for x
2x + 4 + 2x -9 + 8 = 180

Answer: Simplifying
2x + 4 + 2x + 8 + 2x + 8 = 180
Reorder the terms:
4 + 8 + 8 + 2x + 2x + 2x = 180
Combine like terms: 4 + 8 = 12
12 + 8 + 2x + 2x + 2x = 180
Combine like terms: 12 + 8 = 20
20 + 2x + 2x + 2x = 180
Combine like terms: 2x + 2x = 4x
20 + 4x + 2x = 180
Combine like terms: 4x + 2x = 6x
20 + 6x = 180
Solving
20 + 6x = 180
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + 6x = 180 + -20
Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 6x = 180 + -20
6x = 180 + -20
Combine like terms: 180 + -20 = 160
6x = 160
Divide each side by '6'.
x = 26.66666667
Simplifying
x = 26.66666667
