To solve the equation \( 20 = \frac{1}{4} x + 8 \), follow these steps:
1. First, isolate the term with \( x \) by subtracting 8 from both sides:
\[
20 - 8 = \frac{1}{4} x
\]
\[
12 = \frac{1}{4} x
\]
2. Next, eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4:
\[
4 \times 12 = x
\]
\[
48 = x
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
x = 48
\]
