Solve for x x+59+x+51+84=180

$x + 59 + x + 51 + 84 = 180$

Step 1

Simplify $x + 59 + x + 51 + 84$ .

Add $x$ and $x$ .

$2 x + 59 + 51 + 84 = 180$

Simplify by adding numbers.

Add $59$ and $51$ .

$2 x + 110 + 84 = 180$

Add $110$ and $84$ .

$2 x + 194 = 180$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $194$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 x = 180 - 194$

Subtract $194$ from $180$ .

$2 x = - 14$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 x = - 14$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = - 14$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 14}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 14}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 14}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 14$ by $2$ .

$x = - 7$
