Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we have to distribute: (-0.5 * -2x) and (-0.5 * 8) -8 = 8
1x - 4 - 8 = 8
Next collect like terms: 1x - 12 = 8
Isolate x to get the value of x: Add 12 to both sides
1x = 20
So x = 20
Answer:x=20
Step-by-step explanation: first you distribute the value outside of the parentheses
-0.5*2x= 1x
-0.5*8=-4
it then becomes
x-4-8=8
combine -4 and -8
x-12=8
add the 12 over
x=20
