Question

Solve for x and show all of your steps. 3x - 20 - 4x = 4x - (3x - 2)

Answer 1

Answer: x = -11

Step-By-Step:
We can start by combining like terms on the left side.
-20 - x = 4x - (3x - 2)
Now we need to distribute the negative on the right side.
-20 - x = 4x - 3x + 2
Now combine like terms on the right.
-20 - x = x + 2
Now add 20 to the other side
- x = x + 22
Subtract x from the left side.
-2x = 22
Now divide by -2.
x = -11

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -20 -4x =4x -(3x -2)

3x - 20 -4x = 4x -3x+2

-x-20 =x +2

-20-2=x +x

-22=2x

x= -22/2

x=-11
