Hello oexplooitable and welcome to MathHelpForum.
You should understand that this is not a homework service nor is it a tutorial service. Please either post some of your own work on this problem or explain what you do not understand about the question.
To get you started. In #20 just make a list of pairs that add to a multiple of five. Then count them.
In the next one, there are $\displaystyle \dfrac{8!}{(4!)^2\cdot 2}$ ways to divide eight people into two teams of four.
