Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x - 1/9x + 5 = 20

Subtract 5 from each side

2/3x - 1/9x + 5 -5= 20-5

2/3x - 1/9x  = 15

Get a common denominator on the left side

2/3 *3/3 x - 1/9x = 15

6/9x - 1/9x = 15

5/9 x = 15

Multiply each side by 9/5

9/5 * 5/9x = 15 * 9/5

x = 15/5 *9

x = 3*9

x = 27
