+130511 20-3x=2(4x-2)+7x OK...let's simplify this...so we have....
20 - 3x = 8x - 4 + 7x combine like terms
20 - 3x = 15x - 4 the idea is to get all the x's on one side amd everything else on the other
Add 3x to both sides and add 4 to both sides.....this gives...
24 = 18x divide both sides by 18
24/18 = reduce the fraction
4/3 = x
Does that help???
