Hello and Good Morning Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

   [tex](5x + 9) + (8x-30)=180\\\\\text{Take out the parentheses as they are unnecessary to solve this problem}\\5x + 9+8x-30=180\\\\\text{Combine like terms like variables to variables and constants to constants}\\5x + 8x + 9-30 = 180\\13x - 21=180\\13x = 201\\x = 15.46 \text{ or }\dfrac{201}{13}[/tex]

Answer: 15.46 or 201/13

Hope that helps!

Take the like terms and add them to get 13x-21=180
We need to get x on its own to solve the equation.
So we do 180-21=201.

Thats equals 13x=201
We have to divide 13 on both sides to get x=201/13
