#x=400#

#x/20 - 10 = 10#

Add #10# to both sides,

#x/20=20#

Multiply #20# to both sides,

#x=400#

#x=400#

Start with the equation
#(x/20)-10=10#

Add #10# to both sides to cancel out #(-10)#
#x/20-10(+10)=10(+10)#

Simplify
#x/20=20#

Multiply by #20# to cancel out #(x/20)#
#x/20(*20)=20(*20)#

Simplify
#x=400#
