replace x+p = x   (1) f(x)+f(x−2p)=6x−6p−4  replace x−p=x  (2)f(x+2p)+f(x)=6x+6p−4  ⇒(1)−(2)   f(x−2p)−f(x+2p) = −12p  let x−2p = 20 ⇒x=20+2p  f(20)−f(20+4p) = −12p  29p+12p = f(20+4p)  f(20+4p) = 41p  let 20+4p = t ⇒p = ((t−20)/4)  f(t) = 41(((t−20)/4)) = ((41t−820)/4)  ((f(t))/(2t)) = ((41t−820)/(8t))

put p=0  2f(x)=6x−4 ⇒f(x)=3x−2⇒f(20)=58  ⇒p=2  ∴((f(p))/(2p)) = ((3×2−2)/(2×2)) =1  please check

$$\mathrm{put}\:\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{6x}−\mathrm{4}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{3x}−\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{20}\right)=\mathrm{58} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\therefore\frac{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{f}}\left(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{p}}\right)}{\mathrm{2}\boldsymbol{\mathrm{p}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{2}−\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}}\:=\mathrm{1}\:\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{please}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{check}} \\ $$

how can p = 0 and p = 2 ?  it meant 0 = 2 ?

$$\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{p}\:=\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{p}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\:? \\ $$$$\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{meant}\:\mathrm{0}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\:? \\ $$

for the 1st equation p is the point which can   take any value.  But for the second equation it is a constant.   now fixed the value of p at 2 then you get  for f(x)=3x−2  then f(x+2)+f(x−2)=3(x+2)−2+3(x−2)−2              = 6x−4  and f(20)= 3×20−2=58=29p  where p=2

let f(x) = ax+b   f(x+p) = ax+ap+b  (i)  f(x−p)= ax−ap+b  (ii)  (i)+(ii) ⇒2ax+2b = 6x−4   a = 3 , b = −2   f(x) = 3x−2   f(20) = 58 = 29p ; p = 2  ((f(p))/(2p)) = ((f(2))/4) = ((6−2)/4) = 1
