To solve for x we will use the INVERSE OPERATION of multiplication which is division. Lets do it:-

10x = 20
x = ?
20 ÷ 10 = x
20 ÷ 10 = 2
x = 2

CHECK OUR WORK:-

10x = 20
x = 2
10 × 2 = 20
We were RIGHT!!!

So, the correct answer for x when solving the equation 10x = 20 is, x = 2.

Hope I helped ya!!! xD
