To solve the equation for $$ x $$:

$$
a x - 2 = 20
$$

**Step 1:** Add 2 to both sides to isolate the term containing $$ x $$:

$$
a x = 20 + 2
$$
$$
a x = 22
$$

**Step 2:** Divide both sides by $$ a $$ to solve for $$ x $$:

$$
x = \frac{22}{a}
$$

**Conclusion:**

The correct solution is:

**A) $$ x = \frac{22}{a} $$**
$$ x = \frac{22}{a} $$, choice A
