Solve for X -20=-4X-6X

$- 20 = - 4 X - 6 X$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $- 4 X - 6 X = - 20$ .

$- 4 X - 6 X = - 20$

Step 2

Subtract $6 X$ from $- 4 X$ .

$- 10 X = - 20$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- 10 X = - 20$ by $- 10$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 10 X = - 20$ by $- 10$ .

$\frac{- 10 X}{- 10} = \frac{- 20}{- 10}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 10$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 10 X}{- 10} = \frac{- 20}{- 10}$

Divide $X$ by $1$ .

$X = \frac{- 20}{- 10}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 20$ by $- 10$ .

$X = 2$
