Answer 1

subtract 20 from both sides

Explanation:

1. To find the answer, let's actually try solving the equation first and find the 2nd step.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Distribute 2 to each term.

• 
  `(2)(x)+(2)(10)=60`
• 
  `2x + 20 = 60`

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.

• 
  `2x + 20 - 20 = 60 - 20`
• 
  `2x = 40`

3. Since we got that the second step was "subtract 20 from both sides," the answer is subtract 20 from both sides.
