To solve the equation \( x + 2x + 4x + 5x = 360 \), first combine like terms on the left side:
\[ (1 + 2 + 4 + 5)x = 360 \]
Calculating the coefficients:
\[ 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 12 \]
So, the equation simplifies to:
\[ 12x = 360 \]
Next, divide both sides by 12 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{360}{12} \]
Calculating the division:
\[ x = 30 \]
Therefore, the solution is:
\[ \boxed{30} \]
