Not being an equation, it does not have a "solution" per se.
If you wish to factor it, you can do it like so:
x2 + 20 - 9x
= x2 - 5x - 4x + 20
= x(x - 5) - 4(x - 5)
= (x - 4)(x - 5)
If that expression is equal to zero, then x would be equal to 4 or 5.

i thinking this answer should be -20
A binomial
x2 + 9 + 20 = x2 + 29, and can not be factored.I assume though that you mis-wrote your question, and what you in fact want to ask is how to factor x2 + 9x + 20.In that case, the answer is (x + 4)(x + 5).
This quadratic equation has no solutions because its discriminant is less than zero.
Step 1: Divide by 9x: 9x (x2 + 3x - 10) = 9x(x + 5)(x - 2)
