Multiply $ \dfrac{10}{3} $ by $ x $ to get $ \dfrac{ 10x }{ 3 } $.

Step 1: Write $ x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator.

Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators.

Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator.

$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{10}{3} \cdot x & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10}{3} \cdot \frac{x}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 10 \cdot x }{ 3 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 10x }{ 3 } \end{aligned} $$

Subtract $20$ from $ \dfrac{10x}{3} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 10x-60 } }{ 3 }$.

Step 1: Write $ 20 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator.

Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator.
We can create a common denominator by multiplying the second fraction by $\color{blue}{3}$.

$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{10x}{3} -20 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10x}{3} - \frac{20}{\color{red}{1}} = \frac{ 10x }{ 3 } - \frac{ 20 \cdot \color{blue}{ 3 }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ 3 }} = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \color{purple}{ 10x } }{ 3 } - \frac{ \color{purple}{ 60 } }{ 3 }=\frac{ \color{purple}{ 10x-60 } }{ 3 } \end{aligned} $$
