Why Does x = 1/2(vi + vf)t Hold True?

Can you explain, or prove why we have this equation as I'm interested in learning the equation as well as knowing from where that people derive it?
Thanks

What does 1/2 * (vi + vf) suggest to you?

If I were to drive my car at 10mph and then over a given time period accelerate to 20mph then what would 1/2*(10+20) represent?
