Answer» ong>ANSWER: Simplifying 2x + 20 = 4x + -30 Reorder the TERMS: 20 + 2x = 4x + -30 Reorder the terms: 20 + 2x = -30 + 4x Solving 20 + 2x = -30 + 4x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms CONTAINING x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4x' to each side of the equation. 20 + 2x + -4x = -30 + 4x + -4x Combine LIKE terms: 2x + -4x = -2x 20 + -2x = -30 + 4x + -4x Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0 20 + -2x = -30 + 0 20 + -2x = -30 Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + -20 + -2x = -30 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + -2x = -30 + -20 -2x = -30 + -20 Combine like terms: -30 + -20 = -50 -2x = -50 Divide each side by '-2'. x = 25 Simplifying x = 25 |
