Find x
%284x%2B32%29%2B%285x-14%29%2B%284x-37%29%2B%285x%2B15%29%2B%282x%2B4%29=540
.
Since we are adding all terms (no multiplications or divisions are present), we may remove all parenthesis and combine like terms.
4x%2B32%2B5x-14%2B4x-37%2B5x%2B15%2B2x%2B4=540
...I'll include parenthesis in the next step to make it easier for you to see what I am adding together...
%284x%2B5x%2B4x%2B5x%2B2x%29%2B%2832-14-37%2B15%2B4%29=540
20x%2B0=540
20x=540
x=540%2F20
x=27
.
Done! :)
