5x - 43 + 3x - 33 = 180

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 43 + 3x - 33 = 180

Combine like terms

8x -76 = 180

Add 76 to each side

8x -76+76 = 180+76

8x =256

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 256/8

x = 32

Steps to solve:

5x - 43 + 3x - 33 = 180

~Combine Like Terms

(5x + 3x) + (-43 - 33) = 180

~Simplify

8x - 76 = 180

~Add 76 to both sides

8x - 76 + 76 = 180 + 76

~Simplify

8x = 256

~Divide 8 to both sides

8x/8 = 256/8

~Simplify

x = 32

Best of Luck!

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
