20x-52=2x-5+x+4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
20x-52=3x-5+4
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
20x-52=3x-1
Add -5 and 4 to get -1.
20x-52-3x=-1
Subtract 3x from both sides.
17x-52=-1
Combine 20x and -3x to get 17x.
17x=-1+52
Add 52 to both sides.
17x=51
Add -1 and 52 to get 51.
x=\frac{51}{17}
Divide both sides by 17.
x=3
Divide 51 by 17 to get 3.
