    So use distributive property

    which is

    a (b+c) = ab+ac so

    1/2 (x+20) = 1/2x+10

    and the other

    4 (6-x) = 24-4x

    so now we have

    1/2x+10=17/4x+24-4x

    convert - 4x to - 16/4x and add to the 17/4x

    1/2x+10=1/4x+24

    subtract 24 from boths ides

    1/2x-14=1/4x

    multily both sides by 4

    2x-56=x

    subtract x from both sides

    x-56=0

    add 56 to both sides

    x=56
