There is no 'x' in your equation. It got lost in the process of writing

the question.

The 'x' could be next to the 20, the 4, the 5, or the 16, and it would

have a different value for each case.

Alternatively, this question can be viewed as an exercise in logic. Since 20 minus 4 over 5 is NOT equal to 16, x can be anything. The "if" clause is FALSE so the truth or falsity of the "then" clause is irrelevant.
