(x+85):36=72

To solve the equation \((x + 85):36 = 72\), we can rewrite it in a more conventional form.

The equation can be expressed as:

\[ \frac{x + 85}{36} = 72 \]

Next, we can eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 36:

\[ x + 85 = 72 \times 36 \]

Now, we calculate \(72 \times 36\):

\[ 72 \times 36 = 2592 \]

So, we have:

\[ x + 85 = 2592 \]

Next, we will isolate \(x\) by subtracting 85 from both sides:

\[ x = 2592 - 85 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 2507 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{2507} \]
