@hba im really lost :/

hba · Answer

Now we can take the 20 on the other hand and x on the other.

6x-20=x

6x-x=20

5x=20

hba · Answer

Okay lemme start over again then @sylinan 

Or you can tell where i should continue.

anonymous · Answer

okay im confused because we subtracted 20 from both sides and then i got x= 6x

hba · Answer

Okay Lets see this

x+20=6x


Let us subtract x from both sides.

Now do it.

anonymous · Answer

oh okay i get it now  so when you do that is when you get 5x=20

hba · Answer

Yes now divide both sides by 5

anonymous · Answer

(x+20)/2=3x
x+20=6x
20=6x-x
20=5x
x=20/5
x=4
