Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the equation looks like this:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{9}x+5=20[/tex]

Here's how to solve for x:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{9}x+5=20[/tex]

(subtract 5 from both sides)

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{9}x=15[/tex]

(Find the GCF of 3 and 9, which is 3. Multiply 2/3 by 3/3. You get 6/9)

[tex]\frac{6}{9}x-\frac{1}{9}x=15[/tex]

(add like terms)

[tex]\frac{5}{9}x=15[/tex]

(multiply 9/5 to both sides, which is the same as dividing both sides by 5/9)

x = 27
