Answer 2

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: To start off simplify $2$× $\frac{x}{5}$ to $\frac{2x}{5}$

 $\frac{2x}{5}-6=2$

Step 2: You have to add 6 to both sides.

$\frac{2x}{5}=2+6$

Step 3: That would cancel the 6 out on the left side, then add 2 and 6 together. That should give you 8.

$\frac{2x}{5}=8$

Step 4:  Multiply both sides by 5.

2x = 8 × 5

Step 5: Simply 5 times 8 to get 40.

$2x=40$

Step 6: Divide both sides by 2. Leaving the x by itself on the left and 40 divided by 2 on right.

$x=\frac{40}{2}$

Step 7: Simply the fraction and you should get your answer!

x = 20

Hope this helps!
