Solve (x-18)+(x-30)=71

Evaluate

(x - 18) + (x - 30) = 71

Simplify

More Steps

2 x - 48 = 71

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2 x = 71 + 48

Add the numbers

2 x = 119

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{119}{2}

Solution

x = \frac{119}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 59.5
