You need to solve for x. That means you want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by -4, you need to divide the left side by -4. The rule with equations is that you are allowed to divide BOTH sides by the same number. That means you need to divide both sides by -4.

\(-4x = -20\) \(\dfrac{-4x}{-4} = \dfrac{-20}{-4} \) \(x = 5\)
