Okay well distribute the negative in front of the  (x+2) and the -5 in front of the (x+4) so it looks like this:

4-x-2= 6-5x+20

now you can simplify that into:

2-x=26-5x

now add 5x to both sides, and subtract 2 from both sides.

You'd get 4x=24
now divide both sides by 4...

x=6 :)
