You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm not sure if I explained it correctly, 2/5 = x-2 divided by 20.
\n" ); document.write( "I'LL TRY THIS ONE
\n" ); document.write( "2/5=(X-2)/20 YOU NEED TO MAKE MORE USE OF THE ().
\n" ); document.write( "CROSS MULTIPLY
\n" ); document.write( "2*20=5(X-2)
\n" ); document.write( "40=5X-10
\n" ); document.write( "5X=40-10
\n" ); document.write( "5X=30
\n" ); document.write( "X=6 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2/5=X-2/20
\n" ); document.write( "X=2/5+2/20
\n" ); document.write( "X=(2*4+2)/20
\n" ); document.write( "X=(8+2)/20
\n" ); document.write( "X=10/20
\n" ); document.write( "X=1/2 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( ".4=.5-.1
\n" ); document.write( ".4=.4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
