Answer: x = 5 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

x² - x = 20

Subtract 20 on both sides

x² - x - 20 = 0

Cross factorize the equation

x          -5

x          4

Factorize the equation

(x - 5) (x + 4) = 0

[tex]\boxed{x=5}[/tex] or [tex]\boxed{x=-4}[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)
