The solution

You have entered [src]
-20 - 2*x = 55 + 6*x
$$- 2 x - 20 = 6 x + 55$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-20-2*x = 55+6*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 6 x + 75$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-8\right) x = 75$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -8
x = 75 / (-8)

We get the answer: x = -75/8
