Perform each step to solve for x.

1. Simplify and combine like terms:
[tex]\[ 3x - 6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x - 2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 4x - 8 = 180 \][/tex]

2. Combine the expressions:
[tex]\[ 4x - 8 = 180 \][/tex]

3. Solve for x:
[tex]\[ 4x = ? \][/tex]



Answer :

Let's solve this step-by-step to determine the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:

1. Given equation:
[tex]\[ 4x - 8 = 180 \][/tex]

2. Add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 4x - 8 + 8 = 180 + 8 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 4x = 188 \][/tex]

We have now [tex]\( 4x = 188 \)[/tex].
