280-2x-25+\frac{1}{2}x=180
Add 100 and 180 to get 280.
255-2x+\frac{1}{2}x=180
Subtract 25 from 280 to get 255.
255-\frac{3}{2}x=180
Combine -2x and \frac{1}{2}x to get -\frac{3}{2}x.
-\frac{3}{2}x=180-255
Subtract 255 from both sides.
-\frac{3}{2}x=-75
Subtract 255 from 180 to get -75.
x=-75\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{2}{3}, the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{2}.
x=\frac{-75\left(-2\right)}{3}
Express -75\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) as a single fraction.
x=\frac{150}{3}
Multiply -75 and -2 to get 150.
x=50
