1. make an equation
4x+7(20) = 5(x+20)
2. multiply the numbers and distribute 5 through the parenthesis
4x+140 = 5x+100
3. move variables to the left side and change its sign and move constant to the right side and change its sign
4x-5x = 100-140
4. collect the like terms and calculate the difference
-x = -40
5. change the signs on both sides of the equation
x = 40

hope this helped!
Answer:
B I'm pretty sure..............
Cross multiply...
Thus,
x(x+4)=(x+12)(x+8)
expand...
x^2+4x=x^2+8x+12x+96
Simply both sides of the equation.
x^2+4x=x^2+20x+96
simply further by adding ask like terms...
-16x=96
Solve for x by making x the subject.
therefore
x=-6.
