Remark

Remember to read this over a little at a time.

9 *( 3*x + 8) = 180                     Remove the brackets

27x + 72 = 180                          Subtract 72 from both sides.

27x = 180 - 72                           Combine

27x = 108                                   Divide by 27

x = 108/27

x = 4                                          Answer

36
