Question

$$20\ x+15=10x-5$$

Solve for x

$x=-2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $10x$ from both sides.

$$20x+15-10x=-5$$

Combine $20x$ and $-10x$ to get $10x$.

$$10x+15=-5$$

Subtract $15$ from both sides.

$$10x=-5-15$$

Subtract $15$ from $-5$ to get $-20$.

$$10x=-20$$

Divide both sides by $10$.

$$x=\frac{-20}{10}$$

Divide $-20$ by $10$ to get $-2$.

$$x=-2$$
