Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set " 4x+20" equal to 0 (4x+20=0)

Do the opposite operation of 20 (in this case is subtraction) and subtract 20 from both sides (4x+20-20=0-20).

You'll be left with 4x=-20.

Divide both sides by 4 (4x/4=-20/4).

4 divided 4 equals x.

-20 divided by 4 equals -5.

x=-5.

Hope this was helpful.
