are you solving for x? if so, here it is.

3x - 6x + 2 = 8x + 20 - 5x

-3x + 2 = 3x + 20

2 = 3x + 20 + 3x

2 = 6x + 20

2 - 20 = 6x

-18 = 6x

-3 = x

hope this helped! :)

the answer is -3

step one: collect the like terms

3x-6x+2=8x+20-5x

-3x+2=3x+20

step two: move terms to make it easier

-3x-3x=20-2

step three: start answering

-3x-3x=20-2

-6x= 18

step 4: divide both sides by 6

-6x=18

x= -3

therefore your answer will be -3
