Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

36x-20=160

first, find the value of x

add 20 from both sides

36x-20=160

+20 +20

36x=180

then, divide 36 from both sides to get x by itself

36x/36=140/36

x=5

now, plug x into the equation to check your work

36(5)-20=160

multiply 36 and 5

180-20=160

subtract 20 from 180

180-20=160
