Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

6(x - 5) = 4x + 20

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 6:                                                                 6x - 30 = 4x + 20
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides:                      2x - 30 = 20
  3. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 30 on both sides:                                  2x = 50
  4. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x = 25

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step would be to distribute the 6 to x and -5. That gives us 6x - 30. Then you would subtract the 4x from both sides to get 2x - 30 = 20. You can now add the 30 to both sides leaving us with 2x = 50. Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x. You have your final answer of x = 25 now. You can always put 25 back in the equation to check by substituting out x.
