Solve x-(1/3*x)-2/3(1/3*x)=20

$$x - ( 1 / 3 * x ) - 2 / 3 ( 1 / 3 \times x ) = 20$$

Solve for x

$$x=45$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine x and -\frac{1}{3}x to get \frac{2}{3}x.

$$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}x=20$$

Multiply \frac{2}{3} times \frac{1}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2\times 1}{3\times 3}x=20$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{2\times 1}{3\times 3}.

$$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2}{9}x=20$$

Combine \frac{2}{3}x and -\frac{2}{9}x to get \frac{4}{9}x.

$$\frac{4}{9}x=20$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{9}{4}, the reciprocal of \frac{4}{9}.

$$x=20\times \frac{9}{4}$$

Express 20\times \frac{9}{4} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{20\times 9}{4}$$

Multiply 20 and 9 to get 180.

$$x=\frac{180}{4}$$

Divide 180 by 4 to get 45.

$$x=45$$
