To solve the equation \( -20 = -5 + 3x \), follow these steps:
1. First, add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
-20 + 5 = 3x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-15 = 3x
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{-15}{3}
\]
This gives us:
\[
x = -5
\]
So, the solution is \( x = -5 \).
