Answer:

X = -6

Explanation:

calculate the sum (6+2)

3 x -2=-20

Move constant to the right- hand side and change its sign

(3x--20+2)

calculate the sum

3x=-18

divide both sides by 3

= -6

hope this helps!

Answer:

x = -6

Explanation:

3x-6+4=-20

Combine like terms

3x -2 = -20

Add 2 to each side

3x-2+2 = -20 +2

3x = -18

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = -18/3

x = -6
