2x + ( 2x + 220) = 180

To solve the equation \(2x + (2x + 220) = 180\), we can start by simplifying it.

1. Distribute the terms inside the parentheses: \[ 2x + 2x + 220 = 180 \]

2. Combine like terms: \[ 4x + 220 = 180 \]

3. Next, isolate the \(4x\) term by subtracting 220 from both sides: \[ 4x = 180 - 220 \] \[ 4x = -40 \]

4. Finally, divide by 4 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{-40}{4} = -10 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-10} \]
