20-k\left(x+3\right)=6x-k\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
20-\left(kx+3k\right)=6x-k\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply k by x+3.
20-kx-3k=6x-k\left(x-2\right)
To find the opposite of kx+3k, find the opposite of each term.
20-kx-3k=6x-\left(kx-2k\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply k by x-2.
20-kx-3k=6x-kx+2k
To find the opposite of kx-2k, find the opposite of each term.
20-kx-3k+kx=6x+2k
Add kx to both sides.
20-3k=6x+2k
Combine -kx and kx to get 0.
20-3k-2k=6x
Subtract 2k from both sides.
20-5k=6x
Combine -3k and -2k to get -5k.
-5k=6x-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
\frac{-5k}{-5}=\frac{6x-20}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
k=\frac{6x-20}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
k=-\frac{6x}{5}+4
Divide 6x-20 by -5.
20-k\left(x+3\right)=6x-k\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
20-\left(kx+3k\right)=6x-k\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply k by x+3.
20-kx-3k=6x-k\left(x-2\right)
To find the opposite of kx+3k, find the opposite of each term.
20-kx-3k=6x-\left(kx-2k\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply k by x-2.
20-kx-3k=6x-kx+2k
To find the opposite of kx-2k, find the opposite of each term.
20-kx-3k-6x=-kx+2k
Subtract 6x from both sides.
20-kx-3k-6x+kx=2k
Add kx to both sides.
20-3k-6x=2k
Combine -kx and kx to get 0.
-3k-6x=2k-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
-6x=2k-20+3k
Add 3k to both sides.
-6x=5k-20
Combine 2k and 3k to get 5k.
\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{5k-20}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=\frac{5k-20}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
x=-\frac{5k}{6}+\frac{10}{3}
Divide -20+5k by -6.
