Answer:
x = 100/3
Step-by-step explanation:
85+3x−5=180
Then we can simplify:
3x+80=180
Subtracting 80 from both sides gives:
3x=100
Dividing both sides by 3 gives our answer:
100/3 or 33 1/3
33.3 repeating
subtract 5 from 85
85-5+3x=180
80+3x=180
Subtract 80 on both sides
80-80+3x=180-80
Divide by three
3x/3 =100/3
Turn it into a decimal
100/3=33.3
