Check your definition of $z_1$ and $z_2$.



$$z_1 = x_1 + 1 iff x_1 = z_1-1$$



$$z_2 = -x_2+5 iff x_2 = -z_2+5$$



Hence $$x_1+4x_2 le 20$$ becomes



$$(z_1-1)+4(-z_2+5) le 20$$ which is equivalent to



$$z_1 -4z_2 le 1.$$



Do the same thing for the second inequality.

    If inequality is greater than you don’t multiply by $-1$, but add the constant. Note:
    $$x_1ge -1 Rightarrow underbrace{x_1+1}_{z_1}ge 0;\
    x_2le 5Rightarrow -x_2ge -5 Rightarrow underbrace{-x_2+5}_{z_2}ge 0.$$

    Note that your conversion to dual is correct.
