Solve 2x-20/7=4x

$$2 x - \frac { 20 } { 7 } = 4 x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{10}{7} = -1\frac{3}{7} \approx -1.428571429$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$2x-\frac{20}{7}-4x=0$$

Combine 2x and -4x to get -2x.

$$-2x-\frac{20}{7}=0$$

Add \frac{20}{7} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-2x=\frac{20}{7}$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{20}{7}}{-2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{20}{7}}{-2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{20}{7\left(-2\right)}$$

Multiply 7 and -2 to get -14.

$$x=\frac{20}{-14}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{-14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=-\frac{10}{7}$$
