180-x+=+6%2A%2890-x%29


180-x+=+540-6x Distribute


180-x%2B6x+=+540 Add 6x to both sides


-x%2B6x+=+540-180 Subtract 180 from both sides



5x+=+360 Combine like terms


x+=+72 Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x

180-X=6*(90-X)
180-X=540-6X
-X+6X=540-180
5X=360
X=360/5
X=72 ANSWER.
180-72=6(90-72)
108=6*18
108=108
