Answer: 32

Step-by-step explanation: ok so here is what i do for those I grab a caculator (desmos online caculator i like to use but not required) then ill do (1/2×x)+4 but then once i write that i go back to the x delete the x and keep putting random numbers in higher and higher by one till the i get the answer (example: for this one i wrote that than i removed the x in it and did 1/2×5+4 then when that did not equal 20 i turned the 5 into a 6 then 6 was wrong so 7, then 8, then i just skipped to 20 then 20 was still wrong so skipped to 30, 30 was also wrong but CLOSE so then i tried 31 then 32 till the answer was 20 and when i did 32 it did say 20) hopes this helps
