Answer 1

x=27

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\bold{Answer}`

`\boxed{\bold{X \ = \ 27}}`

`\bold{Explanation}`

• 
  `\bold{Solve: \ (2)/(3)x-(1)/(9)x+5=20}`

`\bold{--------------------------}`

• 
  `\bold{Subtract \ 5 \ From \ Both \ Sides}`

`\bold{(2)/(3)x-(1)/(9)x+5-5=20-5}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify}`

`\bold{(2)/(3)x-(1)/(9)x=15}`

• 
  `\bold{Multiply \ By \ LCM: \ LCM \ = \ 9}`

`\bold{(2)/(3)x\cdot \:9-(1)/(9)x\cdot \:9=15\cdot \:9}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify}`

`\bold{6x-x=135}`

`\bold{5x=135}`

• 
  `\bold{Divide \ Both \ Sides \ By \ 5}`

`\bold{(5x)/(5)=(135)/(5)}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify}`

`\bold{X \ = \ 27}`

`\boxed{\bold{Eclipsed}}`
