It would be: 20x + 5x - 20 = 21x + 4
25x - 20 = 21x = 4
25x - 21x = 4 + 20
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6

In short, Your Answer would be 6

Hope this helps!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.20x+5x−20=21x+4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.20x+5x−20=21x+4

Simplify: (Show steps)25x−20=21x+4

Step 2: Subtract 21x from both sides.25x−2021x=21x+421x4x−20=4

Step 3: Add 20 to both sides.4x−20+20=4+204x=24

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.4x4=244

x=6
