To solve this equation, you need to get everything with an x on one side of the equal sign, and everything without an x to the other side of the equal sign. For this, we will move the x from the right side to the left side. Do this by adding x to both sides. After you do that, you will get 4x+=+20. To solve, divide both sides by 4. You get x = 5.
