Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]20 - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{x}{2} [/tex]
Multiply through by the LCM that's 6 in order to eliminate the fraction
That's
[tex]6 \times 20 - 6 \times \frac{x}{3} = 6 \times \frac{x}{2} \\ 120 - 2x = 3x[/tex]
Using the addition property add 2x to both sides of the equation
That's
[tex]3x + 2x = 120 + 2x - 2x \\ 5x = 120[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
[tex] \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{120}{5} [/tex]
We have the final answer as
x = 24
Hope this helps you
