A number multiplied by 4 is - 20

4x = - 20

divide by 4 on both sides (4/4 cancels itself out) (-20 / 4 = - 5)

x = - 5

4 (-5) = - 20

-20 = - 20

The answer is - 5

-5 would be the answer. 4 times - 5 would equal - 20 because 4 times 5 equals 20 and a positive number times a negative number equals a negative number. (opposite signs equal negative, same signs equal positive)
