Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is x+20=0\frac{x}{}+20=0 . We are solving for xx

STEP 2

To solve for xx, we first need to isolate xx on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting20 from both sides of the equation.
x2+2020=020\frac{x}{2}+20-20=0-20

STEP 3

implify the equation.
x2=20\frac{x}{2}=-20

STEP 4

Now, to completely isolate xx, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by2.
2x2=2202 \cdot \frac{x}{2}=2 \cdot -20

STEP 5

implify the equation.
x=40x=-40So, the solution to the equation x2+20=0\frac{x}{2}+20=0 is x=40x=-40.
