You can put this solution on YOUR website! This one sure looks UGLY, but a lot of problems are just made to LOOK that way--they really are not as bad as they LOOK!!
First, divide the fraction (-56)/7 =-8, and remember that -(-8)=+8.
Next, you have
20/(3(2x-8)-(-56)/7)
20/(3(2x-8+8))
20/(3(2x))
20/(6x)
Divide out a factor of 2:
10/(3x)
