Solve for x and show all of your steps.

3x - 20 - 4x = 4x - (3x - 2)

Answer: x = - 11

Step-By-Step:

We can start by combining like terms on the left side.

-20 - x = 4x - (3x - 2)

Now we need to distribute the negative on the right side.

-20 - x = 4x - 3x + 2

Now combine like terms on the right.

-20 - x = x + 2

Now add 20 to the other side

- x = x + 22

Subtract x from the left side.

-2x = 22

Now divide by - 2.

x = - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 20 - 4x = 4x - (3x - 2)

3x - 20 - 4x = 4x - 3x+2

-x-20 = x + 2

-20-2=x + x

-22=2x

x = - 22/2

x=-11
