20  <  12  ⋅  x  =  64

This is somewhat of a false equation though, due to  the left side  "20"  is not less than the right side  "12 ", which means that the given statement is false.

So I switched it up and made the variable "12"

12  <  20  ⋅  x  =  64

12x - 20 = 64

12x = 64 + 20

12x = 84

12x⁄12 = 84⁄12  

x = 7

I hope this helps, as always. I wish you the best of luck and have a nice day, friend..
