I'm going to assume you mean the quantity of 20 + x divided by x. Otherwise, the statement is false.
(20 + x) / x = 6 / 5
Multiply both sides by x, the denominator on the left side.
20 + x = 6x / 5
Multiply both sides by 5, the denominator on the right side.
5 (20 + x) = 6x
Simplify the left side.
100 + 5x = 6x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
100 = x
So, x = 100.

I'm guessing that you meant
( 20 + x ) / x = 6 / 5
Multiply both sides by 5x
( 5 ) ( 20 + x ) = 6x
100 + 5x = 6x
100 = x

x/x + 20 = 6/5
x/x = 6/5 - 20
x/x = 6/5 - 100/5
x/x = -94/5
that's the question your asking.....

1a) (20 + x)/x = 6/5
1b) 5(20 + x) = 6x, cross multiply
1c) 100 + 5x = 6x
1d) 100 = x
