I showed you exactly what I did in this picture.
The answer is an infinite # of solutions.
Hope this is what you needed. :)

Hello!

You solve this like an algebraic equation

You first distribute the 4 and 2

4x - 20 = 2x - 20 + 2x

Combine like terms

4x - 20 = 4x - 20

subtract 4x from both sides

-20 = 0x - 20

Add 20 to both sides

0 = 0

This means that there are infinite solutions to the equation.

Hope this helps!
