Answer:
<h2>x = 7</h2>
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
Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. So 2315.5 - 3166.75 = -851.25
