Solve for x.

Question

20 = 5 − 3/8x

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation 20 = 5 - 3/8x, we first need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Adding 3/8x to both sides, we have:

20 + 3/8x = 5

Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get:

3/8x = -15

Multiplying both sides by 8/3, we have:

x = -40

Therefore, the solution for x is -40.
