Answer:
72 85 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
(x – 13) + (x/5 + 6) + x = 180 Multiply the equation by 5
Solution
5(x – 13) + 5(x/5 + 6) + 5x = 180*5 Remove the brackets
5x – 65 + x + 30 + 5x = 900 Combine like terms on the left
11x – 35 = 900 Add 35 to both sides
35 35
11x = 935
x = 85
Answer
x – 13 = 85 – 13 = 72
x = 85
x/5 + 6 = 17 + 6 = 23
Total = 180
It might be easier not to multiply through by 5 at the beginning
(x – 13) + (x/5 + 6) + x = 180 Remove the brackets
x – 13 + x/5 + 6 + x = 180 Combine like terms
2x + x/5 — 7 = 180
x/5 = .2x Put 0.2x in for x/5
2.2x – 7= 180 Add 7 to both sides
7 7
2.2x = 187 Divide by 2.2
x = 187/2.2
x = 85
Take your pick. Both methods will give the same answer.
