Answer: x=50
how?
[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] - 5= 20 (first ADD 5 with 20 whatever you do on one side you have to do it to the other) so that gives us:
[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]=25 (we see that 2 is being divided by x and we want X alone so the inverse of division is MULTIPLICATION)
25 x 2= 50
therefor the x=50
