Answer: 3.33

Explanation:

6x-2= 20

+2= +2

Add two to both sides

6x=22

÷ 6= ÷6

Divide both sides by 6

x= 3.33 OR x= 22/6 simplified = 11/3

What you do to one side you do to the other to make the equation balanced.

Answer:

Explanation:

6x - 2 = 20

Add 2 to both sides

6x - 2 + 2 = 20 + 2

6x = 22

Divide both sides by 6


(6x)/(6)=(22)/(6)\\\\\\x =(11)/(3)\\\\\\x = 3(2)/(3)
