2\left(100-x\right)=1\left(x-20\right)
Cancel out 4200 on both sides.
200-2x=1\left(x-20\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 100-x.
200-2x=x-20
Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by x-20.
200-2x-x=-20
Subtract x from both sides.
200-3x=-20
Combine -2x and -x to get -3x.
-3x=-20-200
Subtract 200 from both sides.
-3x=-220
Subtract 200 from -20 to get -220.
x=\frac{-220}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{220}{3}
Fraction \frac{-220}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{220}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
