Solve x=(180-x)/3-4

$$x= \frac{ (180-x) }{ 3 } -4$$

Solve for x

$$x=42$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of 180-x by 3 to get 60-\frac{1}{3}x.

$$x=60-\frac{1}{3}x-4$$

Subtract 4 from 60 to get 56.

$$x=56-\frac{1}{3}x$$

Add \frac{1}{3}x to both sides.

$$x+\frac{1}{3}x=56$$

Combine x and \frac{1}{3}x to get \frac{4}{3}x.

$$\frac{4}{3}x=56$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{4}, the reciprocal of \frac{4}{3}.

$$x=56\times \frac{3}{4}$$

Express 56\times \frac{3}{4} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{56\times 3}{4}$$

Multiply 56 and 3 to get 168.

$$x=\frac{168}{4}$$

Divide 168 by 4 to get 42.

$$x=42$$
