To solve the linear equation -20 = -5 + 3x, we first need to isolate the variable x.
First, we need to move the constant term to the other side by adding 5 to both sides:
-20 + 5 = -5 + 5 + 3x
-15 = 3x
Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
-15/3 = 3x/3
-5 = x
Therefore, the solution to the linear equation -20 = -5 + 3x is x = -5.
