We're given the following inequality:


4(x-1)>20,

so, to begin we'll do the operation in the parentheses:


4x-4>20.

Adding or subtracting numbers won't change the inequality, so let's add 4 to both sides of it:


4x>24.

Dividing by a number greater than 1 won't change the inequality, so let's divide both sides by 4:


x>6.

And so, the number to be entered in the box is 6.
