Answer:


(8)/(7)x=(20)/(7)+x

Explanation:

The given equation is


x=20

We need to write an equation that should have the variable on both sides, a fractional coefficient on the left side, and a fraction anywhere on the right side.

Multiply both sides by 1/7 in the given equation.


(1)/(7)* x=(1)/(7)* 20


(1)/(7)x=(20)/(7)

Add x on both sides.


(1)/(7)x+x=(20)/(7)+x


(8)/(7)x=(20)/(7)+x

This equation have the variable x on both sides, a fractional coefficient 8/7 on the left side, and a fraction 20/7 on the right side.

Therefore the required equation is
(8)/(7)x=(20)/(7)+x.
