For this case we must solve the following linear equation:

20-x = 6

First step:

We subtract "20" on both sides of the equation:

20-20-x = 6-20

We take into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

-x = -14

Second step:

We multiply by "-" on both sides of the equation:

$- (- x) = - (- 14)\\x = 14$
