Question 116614: My daughter is stuck on this equation. x+3x+(x-10)=180. I have the answer which is 38, but we have no idea how to get to this point. We tried using the reverse with the distributive property and grouping like terms and we are just totally lost. thanks for the help Answer by SHUgrad05(58) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+3x+(x-10)=180

Simplify:
5x=190
Divide:
x=38
