Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: The answer is x=2/3
Step-by-step explanation: This is the linear equation to solve it we have to take 6x to the other the sign will change to be negative then divide both sides by 3
3x=6x-2
3x-6x=-2
3x=-2
x=2/3
The value of x is 4. The steps to solving the equation are to use distributive property first so that the equation then looks like this: 10x+20=5x+40
Next you would combine like terms and then the equation would look like this: 5x+20=40
Then you would use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 20 from 40 so your equation will now look like this: 5x=20
Then you use the division property of equality to divide 20 by 5 to get x=4
