1. 37+20x=117. 2. -37 on both sides
3. 20x=80. 4. Divide 20 by 80. 5. X=4

Answer: [tex]x=4[/tex]

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-37' to each side of the equation.

[tex]37 + -37 + 20x = 117 + -37[/tex]

Combine like terms: 37 + -37 = 0

[tex]0 + 20x = 117 + -37\\20x = 117 + -37[/tex]

Combine like terms: 117 + -37 = 80

[tex]20x = 80[/tex]

Divide each side by '20'.

[tex]20/20=1[/tex] (Cross/Mark out)

[tex]80/20 =4[/tex]

[tex]x=4[/tex]
