I had to help my mother do something. I was even on the computer.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you cross multiply will get 1(2x-20) = 3*2x what mean 2x-20=3*2x do you can continue from here ?

OpenStudy (impracticaljoker):

Yes. I'll just follow fromhere

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. please collaborate from here than - ty.

OpenStudy (impracticaljoker):

Ok so where do you want me to start?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

OpenStudy (impracticaljoker):

Wouldn't I add 20 to both sides first?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

(2x - 20)/3 = 2x Is this what the equation really looks like?
