Answer:

x= -1/3

Explanation:

What we need to do is get X on one side of the equation by itself. Because x is on the bottom of the fraction we need to start my multiplying the 3x on both sides of the equation.

-2/3x=20

×3x ×3x

-----------------

-2=60x

now to get x completely by itself we need to divide both sides by 60 to undo the multiplication the X is with

-2=60x

--- ------

60 60

--------------

-1/3=x

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
