Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: okay. Here we go. This will be long.

You have to use the inverse operation. That means use the opposite operation. For example, the opposite operation of addition is subtraction. So let’s ignore the 3x for now. That means the equation is +2=20. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we subtract 2 from 20. That equals 18. Then we subtract 2 from 2. That equals 0. Now our equation is =18. Now remember 3x? You bring that back in. So our equation is 3x=18. See what I did? I simplified the equation. 3x means “3 times x” because x is a variable. And the opposite of times (multiplication) is division. So you divide 3 from 18. That equals 6. And we divide 3 from 3x. That equals 1x. Ax is basically the same thing as x. So now what doe we have left? X= 6. Your answer is 6.

and you will times 30 by 6 to get 180, so you times 22 by 6 
and you will get 132 problems

so Koby can do 132 problems
