10x−33x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(10−33)x
Subtract the numbers
−23x
4x−3(20−x)=−23x
Move the expression to the left side
4x−3(20−x)−(−23x)=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
4x−3(20−x)−(−23x)

Evaluate
27x+3x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(27+3)x
Add the numbers
30x
30x−60
30x−60=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
30x=0+60
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
30x=60
Divide both sides
3030x=3060
Divide the numbers
x=3060
