Danny Yoder · Answer 1

x = 100/3

Step-by-step explanation:

85+3x-5=180

Then we can simplify:

3x+80=180

Subtracting 80 from both sides gives:

3x=100

Dividing both sides by 3 gives our answer:

100/3 or 33 1/3

Justin Garner · Answer 2

33.3 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 5 from 85

85-5+3x=180

80+3x=180

Subtract 80 on both sides

80-80+3x=180-80

3x=100

Divide by three

3x/3 = 100/3

Turn it into a decimal

100/3=33.3
