Solve for x: the quantity of x plus 20 over 2 = 3x
The question is based on simplifying an algebraic expression.
Answer: x = 4 satisfies the given equation: the quantity of x plus 20 over 2 = 3x
The given equation can be solved by interpreting the given information mathematically.
Explanation:
Given that, x plus 20 over 2 = 3x
Therefore, (x + 20) / 2 = 3x
(x + 20) = (3x) × 2
x + 20 = 6x
6x - x = 20
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
Thus, x = 4 satisfies the given equation.
