9,5+11=10\left(x+20\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -20 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+20.
20,5=10\left(x+20\right)
Add 9,5 and 11 to get 20,5.
20,5=10x+200
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by x+20.
10x+200=20,5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
10x=20,5-200
Subtract 200 from both sides.
10x=-179,5
Subtract 200 from 20,5 to get -179,5.
x=\frac{-179,5}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x=\frac{-1795}{100}
Expand \frac{-179,5}{10} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=-\frac{359}{20}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-1795}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
