Solve for X: 2=3x+20

A) -2
B) -3
C) -5
D) -6

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x, we first isolate the term containing x which in this problem is 3x. Since 20 is being added to 3x, we subtract 20 from both sides of the equation.

On the left, 2 - 20 is -18 and on the right, the +20 and -20 cancel out.

So we have -18 = 3x.

Since x is being multiplied by 3, we can finish things off by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.

On the right the 3's cancel and on the left, -18 divided by 3 is -6.

So x = -6 is the solution to this equation.
