5\left(x-1\right)-20=4\left(x-6\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 4,5.
5x-5-20=4\left(x-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-1.
5x-25=4\left(x-6\right)
Subtract 20 from -5 to get -25.
5x-25=4x-24
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-6.
5x-25-4x=-24
Subtract 4x from both sides.
x-25=-24
Combine 5x and -4x to get x.
x=-24+25
Add 25 to both sides.
x=1
Add -24 and 25 to get 1.
