Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. 2x - 20 = 32

The answer is 26. What you start out by doing is adding 20 on both sides. This will cancel out the 20 months left side, and on the right side you will add 32 and 20 which will equal to 52. Then you want to divide 2 on both sides, this leaving you with x=26.

x=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x - 20 = 32

2x=32+20

2x=52

2x/2=52/2

x=26!
