The equation the quantity 2x minus 20 divided by 3 = 2x models temperature change, where x represents the difference in degrees in the last 24 hours. solve for x.

Sagot :

The value of x for given equation (2x - 20) /3 = 2x is x = -5

For given question,

we have been given an equation  2x minus 20 divided by 3 = 2x

i.e., (2x - 20) /3 = 2x

This equation models temperature change, where x represents the difference in degrees in the last 24 hours.

We need to solve given equation for x.

(2x - 20) /3 = 2x

(2x - 20)  = 3(2x)                ...........(Multiply by 3 on both sides)

2x - 20 + 20 = 6x + 20      ...........(Add 20 to both sides)

2x - 6x = 6x + 20 - 6x       ..........(Subtract 6x from both sides)

-4x = 20                            

x = -5                                  ..........(Divide by - 4 on both sides)

Therefore, the value of x for given equation (2x - 20) /3 = 2x is x = -5
