hi! the answer would be 3x + 20.
“3 times x” means 3x
and “increased by 20” means to add 20 to the equation.
if you were to solve this equation, the answer to the first step would be 6.666!
divide each side by 3. 3/3 is 1, and 20/3 is 6.666! therefore, the 1 cancels out and you get this number, which is the value of x.
now, for the second step, you would get 39.998, which is your overall answer! all you have to do is replace x with the answer from the previous step (6.666)
i hope this helped!!
