The solution to the equation is x = -5

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The equation is given as:

the quantity 2x minus 20 divided by 3 = 2x

Rewrite properly as

(2x - 20)/3 = 2x

Multiply through by 3

2x - 20 = 6x

Collect like terms

6x - 2x = -20

This gives

4x = -20

Divide by 4

x = -5

Hence, the solution to the equation is x = -5
