Find x.
4x+6x+20=20x
Step 1
Combine like terms;
4x+6x=10x
Then you end up with;
10x+20=20x
Step 2
Get all your X's on one side of the equal sign;
10x+20=20x
-10x+20=20x-10x
so that you end up with;
20=10x
*be sure to subtract equally on both sides.*
Step 3
Divide each side by the number in front of x;
20=10x
20/10=10x/10
2=x;
x=2
