Solve 4(-3x+79)+2x+(-3x+79)+79-x=180

$$4 ( - 3 x + 79 ) + 2 x + ( - 3 x + 79 ) + 79 - x = 180$$

Solve for x

$$x=21$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by -3x+79.

$$-12x+316+2x-3x+79+79-x=180$$

Combine -12x and 2x to get -10x.

$$-10x+316-3x+79+79-x=180$$

Combine -10x and -3x to get -13x.

$$-13x+316+79+79-x=180$$

Add 316 and 79 to get 395.

$$-13x+395+79-x=180$$

Add 395 and 79 to get 474.

$$-13x+474-x=180$$

Combine -13x and -x to get -14x.

$$-14x+474=180$$

Subtract 474 from both sides.

$$-14x=180-474$$

Subtract 474 from 180 to get -294.

$$-14x=-294$$

Divide both sides by -14.

$$x=\frac{-294}{-14}$$

Divide -294 by -14 to get 21.

$$x=21$$
