Answer 2

Answer:

$x=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you'd like to solve for $x$, start with:

$20(x+1)=200$

Distribute the $20$ into the $(x+1)$:

$20x+20=200$

Subtract $20$ from both sides of the equation:

$20x=180$

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of $x$, which is $20$:

$x=9$
