x + 2x + x = 160
4x = 160
x = 160/4
x = 40
Check: 40 + 2*40 + 40 = 160
160 = 160

x + 2x+ x = 160 well to begin with all x's have an imaginary 1 in front of them, so let's rewrite the problem with the 1's in place, see if that helps you.
1x + 2x + 1x= 160 now consolidate (add) the x's together
4x= 160 now divide both sides by 4 (because what you do to one side you have to do to the other)
4x=160
___________
4

First, add the single "x"s to get 2x. Next, add the two "2x"s to get "4x". You now have 4x=160. To get rid of the 4, divide by 4 on both sides. Your answer should be x=40.
