Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\bold{x=12}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 20 to both sides
[tex]\bold{5x-20+20=3x+4+20}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\bold{5x=3x+24}[/tex]
Subtract 3x from both sides
[tex]\bold{5x-3x=3x+24-3x}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\bold{2x=24}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\bold{\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{24}{2}}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\bold{x=12}[/tex]
