20(20-x)=300 what is x

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

20(20-x)=300

1. Divide both sides by 20.

20(20-x)/20 = 300/20

2. Simplify.

20-x=15

3. Subtract 20 from both sides.

20-x-29=15-20

4. Simplify.

-x=-5

5. Divide both sides by -1.

-x/-1 = -5/-1

6. Simplify.

x=5

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the dilation produces a smaller figure

then

the scale factor must be less than one

Let

z > the scale factor

z < 1

A possible scale factor can be 0.50, 0.20,0.35,0.80, etc
