Question 244630
Find x
{{{(4x+32)+(5x-14)+(4x-37)+(5x+15)+(2x+4)=540}}}
.
Since we are adding all terms (no multiplications or divisions are present), we may remove all parenthesis and combine like terms.
{{{4x+32+5x-14+4x-37+5x+15+2x+4=540}}}
...I'll include parenthesis in the next step to make it easier for you to see what I am adding together...
{{{(4x+5x+4x+5x+2x)+(32-14-37+15+4)=540}}}
{{{20x+0=540}}}
{{{20x=540}}}
{{{x=540/20}}}
{{{x=27}}}
.
Done!  :)
