distribute 1/4 by multiplying it by 8, -6X and 20 you end up with 
1/4times8=2
1/4times-6x= -1.5x
1/4times20=5
so 2-1.5x+5
add 2 and 5 to get 7
the answer is -1.5x+7

So to do this question, first rearrange the numerals n the parenthesis.

\(\frac{1}{4}\) (8 + 20 - 6x)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) (28 - 6x)

Now, distribute the \(\frac{1}{4}\) into the parenthesis.
\(\frac{28}{4}\) - \(\frac{6x}{4}\)
7 - \(\frac{6x}{4}\)

\(- \frac{6x}{4} = -1.5x\)

7 - 1.5x
