First you get the variables on one side and the constants on the other.
-2x = 14
Then you divide by -2 to get the variable alone.
x = -7

To find what times four equals 20, you can set up the equation (4x = 20). Dividing both sides by 4 gives you (x = 5). Therefore, 5 times four equals 20.
Previous poster was very wrong, 5n-3=17 5n=20 n=4
20 = y/5 is an equation. It is true, only if y = 100. To find this result systematically, multiply both sides of the original equation by 5.

An equation never equals a number, but its solution often does.-- An equation with a solution of six: [ 3x - 14 = 4 ]-- An equation with a solution of three: [ 14 - 10x = -16 ]-- An equation with both solutions: [ x2 - 9x + 20 = 2 ]An equation that equals 6 is 10 - 4 = 6An equation that equals 3 is 10 - 7 = 3
(Since 5 times 20 does equal 100, the solution is correct.
Yes, it does.
x-14 = 20 x = 20+14 x = 34

You haven't given the solution to the equation ! 3x + 20 = ? If you have the number for the question-mark - you can find the value of x ! For example in the equation 3x + 20 = 50... the value of x is 10.
There is none because it's not an equation
