Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:


\rm Solve \: for \: x: \\ \rm \longrightarrow 4 (3 x - 1) = 20 \\ \\ \rm Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: 4 (3 x - 1) = 20 \: by \: 4: \\ \rm \longrightarrow (4(3x - 1))/(4) = (20)/(4) \\ \\ \rm (4)/(4) = 1: \\ \rm \longrightarrow 3 x - 1 = (20)/(4) \\ \\ \rm (20)/(4) = 5: \\ \rm \longrightarrow 3 x - 1 = 5 \\ \\ \rm Add \: 1 \: to \: both \: sides: \\ \rm \longrightarrow 3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 5 \\ \\ \rm 1 - 1 = 0: \\ \rm \longrightarrow 3 x = 5 + 1 \\ \\ \rm 5 + 1 = 6: \\ \rm \longrightarrow 3 x = 6 \\ \\ \rm Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: 3 x = 6 \: by \: 3: \\ \rm \longrightarrow (3x)/(3) = (6)/(3) \\ \\ \rm (3)/(3) = 1: \\ \rm \longrightarrow x = (6)/(3) \\ \\ \rm (6)/(3) = 2 : \\ \rm \longrightarrow x = 2
