Solve x=2x-10/20

$$x = \frac { 2 x - 10 } { 20 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{5}{9}\approx -0.555555556$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of 2x-10 by 20 to get \frac{1}{10}x-\frac{1}{2}.

$$x=\frac{1}{10}x-\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{10}x from both sides.

$$x-\frac{1}{10}x=-\frac{1}{2}$$

Combine x and -\frac{1}{10}x to get \frac{9}{10}x.

$$\frac{9}{10}x=-\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{10}{9}, the reciprocal of \frac{9}{10}.

$$x=-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{10}{9}$$

Multiply -\frac{1}{2} times \frac{10}{9} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x=\frac{-10}{2\times 9}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-10}{2\times 9}.

$$x=\frac{-10}{18}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-10}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=-\frac{5}{9}$$
