Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (2x+8)=3x+8−x
Use the distributive property to multiply 1/2=0.5 by 2x+8.
1/2 x 2x+1/2x8=3x+8-x
Cancel out 2 and 2.
x+1/2 ×8=3x+8−x
Multiply 1/2 =0.5 and 8 to get 8/2=4.
x+8/2=3x+8−x
Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.
x+4=3x+8−x
Combine 3x and −x to get 2x.
x+4=2x+8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x+4−2x=8
Combine x and −2x to get −x.
−x+4=8
Subtract 4 from both side
−x=4
Multiply both sides by −1.
x=−4
