104=1/2[(360-x)-x]

You might want to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by the LCD which is obviously 2:
2*104 = 2*(1/2)[(360-x)-x]
208 = [360 - x - x]
208 = 360 - 2x

Subtract 360 from each side:
208 - 360 = -2x
-152 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2
%28-152%29%2F%28-2%29+=+%28-2x%29%2F%28-2%29
76+=+x
