Answer:

23 1/3 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

So first combine like terms

6x+40=180

Now subtract 40 on both sides

6x=140

Now divide 6 on both sides

x=23 2/6

Or

x=23 1/3

SOLVE FOR X:

REMOVE PARANTHESIS:
2x+40+(3x)+x=180
2x+40+3x+x=180

COLLECT TERMS:
6x+40=180

MOVE CONSTANT TO RIGHT AND CHANGE SIGN:
6x=180-40

SUBTRACT NUMBERS:
6x=140

DIVIDE BOTH SIDES OF EQUATION BY 6:
x=70/3 OR x= 23 1/3 OR 23.333(recurring)
