please help STAT :(

Answer 1

Your answer is x=37/19

Answer 2

I think that x = 37/19

22x+54=−20+60x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

22x+54=60x−20

Step 2: Subtract 60x from both sides.

22x+54−60x=60x−20−60x

−38x+54=−20

Step 3: Subtract 54 from both sides.

−38x+54−54=−20−54

−38x=−74

Step 4: Divide both sides by -38.

−38x/ −38 = −74/−38

x=37/19
