Solve the equation for X.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

equation:

180 - x = 132

subtract 180 from each side:

180 - 180 - x = 132 - 180

-x = -48

divide both sides by -1:

[tex]\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{-48}{-1}[/tex]

x = 48

to check, substitute 48 for x:

180 - x = 132

180 - 48 = 132

132 = 132
