Answer:
X = [tex]\frac{284}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{71}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
12X-2+(-102)=180
First let's gather all the terms on one side and the integers on the other.
12X = 180 + 102 + 2
12X = 284
Solve for X by dividing by 12.
12X/12 = 284/12
X = [tex]\frac{284}{12}[/tex]
Which can be simplified:
[tex]\frac{71}{3}[/tex] = 23.66666667
