Answer 2

Answer: $x=4$

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-37' to each side of the equation.

$37 + -37 + 20x = 117 + -37$

Combine like terms: 37 + -37 = 0

$0 + 20x = 117 + -37\\20x = 117 + -37$

Combine like terms: 117 + -37 = 80

$20x = 80$

Divide each side by '20'.

$20/20=1$ (Cross/Mark out)

$80/20 =4$

$x=4$
