Answer:

x = 4.5

Explanation:

First, we can subtract 2 from 20 (20 - 2) to get 18.

Now we know that x has to be multiplied by 4 and have a product of 18.

We can divide 18 by 4 to figure out what x is.

18 ÷ 4 = 4.5

We can check our answer by solving the equation:

4(4.5) + 2 = 20

18 + 2 = 20

20 = 20

(sorry if this is confusing but I hope it helped)
