Question

20x - (-2x) + (-16) = 6
Solve for X

Answer 1

Explanation:

x = 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

20x−−2x−16=6

20x+2x+−16=6

(20x+2x)+(−16)=6(Combine Like Terms)

22x+−16=6

22x−16=6

Step 2: Add 16 to both sides.

22x−16+16=6+16

22x=22

Step 3: Divide both sides by 22.

22x

22
