Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Turning the word problem into equations:

[tex]-4x+2 = 20[/tex]

Subtracting 2 on both sides

[tex]-4x+2 -2= 20 -2[/tex]

[tex]-4x = 18[/tex]

Dividing by -4

[tex] -4x/(-4) = 18/(-4)[/tex]

Considering that -4x/(-4) = x

Then the answer is x = -18/4 = - 9/2 = - 4 1/2
