First equation:
5(x+1)=20 —— distribute the 5 to the x and 1
5x+5=20 ——- subtract 5 from 20
5x=15 ———— divide by 5 from both sides
X=3 ————— answer
Second equation:
5x+1=20——— subtract 1 from 20
5x=19 ———— divide by 5 from both sides
X=19/5———— answer in fraction form
X=3.8————- answer in decimal form

Answer:
4.6 or if you rounded it would be 5
So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.
First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:
(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4
The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.
