Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The first step is to isolate the variable x by undoing any addition or subtraction operations performed on it. In this case, we have to undo the -4.

Adding 4 to both sides of the equation, we get:

20 + 4 = 6x - 4 + 4

Simplifying both sides:

24 = 6x

Now, we can move to the next step to solve for x.
