To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation:
5x + 2 = 3x - 20
We can start by subtracting 3x from both sides:
5x + 2 - 3x = 3x - 3x - 20
2x + 2 = -20
Next, we subtract 2 from both sides:
2x + 2 - 2 = -20 - 2
2x = -22
Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
2x / 2 = -22 / 2
x = -11
So the solution to the equation is x = -11.
Starting with the given equation:

We can start by subtracting 3x from both sides:
5x + 2 - 3x = 3x - 3x - 20
2x + 2 = -20
Next, we subtract 2 from both sides:
2x + 2 - 2 = -20 - 2
2x = -22
Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

x = -11
So the solution to the equation is x = -11.
