Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x + 20 = 5x + -8

Reorder the terms:

20 + x = 5x + -8

Reorder the terms:

20 + x = -8 + 5x

Solving

20 + x = -8 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

20 + x + -5x = -8 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: x + -5x = -4x

20 + -4x = -8 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

20 + -4x = -8 + 0

20 + -4x = -8

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.

20 + -20 + -4x = -8 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0

0 + -4x = -8 + -20

-4x = -8 + -20

Combine like terms: -8 + -20 = -28

-4x = -28

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7

Ok so if I understand this correctly then you have to find out what each one of them are then add them to get the total number of both of them. So this is the equation I did. The one circled on blue is the formula I made for the equation and then the green one is the answer. which is 5 4/9

I hope this helps.
