To solve the equation \(2x - 10 = 180\), we need to isolate the variable \(x\). First, add 10 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the left side. Then, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\).
Step 1: Isolate the variable term
First, we need to isolate the term containing the variable \( x \). We do this by adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
\[
2x - 10 + 10 = 180 + 10
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x = 190
\]
Step 2: Solve for \( x \)
Next, we solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
