When you open a nano x or private wallet you are given a seed (20 random words). Is that the same as your private key?

No, that’s the entropy (randomness) that is used to generate a private key. The 12-24 words are simply an encoding of that randomness. Each word represents 11 bits.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and we can walk through it together.
