Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each machine makes x fixtures and we have 5 machines. So we need to use multiplication:

5 * x = 5x

The above expression indicates how many fixtures the 5 machines can make. We want the total to be more than 20, so we need to use the greater than sign: >.

5x > 20
