Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to isolate all the x's on one side. To do this we need to move the -20 over to the other side making it a +20:
3.5x + 1/2x = 40 + 20 - 2x
Add the x's and the 40 and 20:
4x = 60 - 2x
Move the -2x over to the other side making it a +2x:
4x + 2x = 60
6x = 60
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 10
So x = 10
Hope this helps!
