Solve x*3/5=x+20

$$x \times \frac{ 3 }{ 5 } =x+20$$

Solve for x

$$x=-50$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$x\times \frac{3}{5}-x=20$$

Combine x\times \frac{3}{5} and -x to get -\frac{2}{5}x.

$$-\frac{2}{5}x=20$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{5}{2}, the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{5}.

$$x=20\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)$$

Express 20\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{20\left(-5\right)}{2}$$

Multiply 20 and -5 to get -100.

$$x=\frac{-100}{2}$$

Divide -100 by 2 to get -50.

$$x=-50$$
