24 divide by blank plus 5 multipled by 3 plus 2 equals 20

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be 8 because the question would be

24 ÷ x + 5 × 3 + 2=20  right?

The first thing you would want to do is multiply the 5 and the 3 because of PEMDAS which should give you  24 ÷ x + 15 + 2 = 20.

15 plus 2 is 17 and then you would subtract 17 from 20 which would give you 3. So you know know that 24÷x has to be 3 and 24÷3 is 8 so x=8.

Hope this helped!

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.
