You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+-5%28x-4%29+=+20+-+5x+ <----- Begin

+-5x+%2B+20+=+20+-+5x+ <----- Distribute

+-5x+=+-5x+ <----- Subtract 20 from both sides

+x+=+x+ <----- Divide by -5 on both sides. The result x = x tells you that x can be ANY number you want. So your solution would be the set of all real numbers.
