Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2x-20}{3}=2x$

Multiply both sides by 3:

$2x-20=6x$

Subtract 2x from both sides:

$-20=4x$

Divide both sides by 4:

$x=-5$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

2x_20/3 = 2x

2x_20/3*3 = 2x*3

2x_20 = 6x

2x_6x = 20

-4x = 20

-4x/-4x = 20/-4x

X= -5
