Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

4x = 20

x is called a 'variable' and we fine the value of this variable.

Now, Given that

=> 4x = 20

To get the value of x, we divide the equation on the left hand side and right hand side by 4

=> 4x/4 = 20/4

In the left hand side 4/4 becomes 1 and in the right hand side 20/4 becomes 5.

=> x = 5

We get x = 5.

Hope it helps!
