%28x%2B59%29%2B%28x%2B51%29%2B84=180 Start with the given equation.


x%2B59%2Bx%2B51%2B84=180 Distribute.


2x%2B194=180 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=180-194 Subtract 194 from both sides.


2x=-14 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-14%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=-7 Reduce.
