Question

solve for x.
view equation history
2x = 20 + 3x
2x - 3x = 20
divide both sides : divide both sides by what?
\\(\frac{-x}{\square}=\frac{20}{\square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify simplified equation

From the given steps, we reach $-x = 20$ (since $2x-3x=-x$)

Step2: Determine divisor for isolation

To solve for $x$, we need to divide both sides by the coefficient of $x$, which is $-1$.
$\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{20}{-1}$

Answer:

We divide both sides by $\boldsymbol{-1}$. The filled equation is $\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{20}{-1}$, and the final value of $x$ is $-20$.
