Answer:


x=(26)/(3)

Explanation:

Lets solve for
x.

Subtract
3x from both sides of the equation.


9x-20-3x=32

Add 20 to both sides of the equation.


9x-3x=32+20

Simplify both sides.


6x=52

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.


x=(52)/(6)

Write the fraction in simplest form.


52 / 2 = 26\\6 / 2 = 3


x=(26)/(3)
