Answer:
x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
22 + 54x = -20 + 60x

We can add 20 on both sides using the Addition Property of Equality
42 + 54x = 60x

Subtract both sides by 54x using the Subtraction Property of Equality
42 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6 using the Division Property of Equality
x = 7
