(1 point)
x=

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 20 = 5 - 38x \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

    \[ 20 - 5 = -38x \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 15 = -38x \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by -38 to solve for \( x \):

    \[ x = \frac{15}{-38} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ x = -\frac{15}{38} \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ x = -\frac{15}{38} \]
