Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

with th information given we can express the equation:

2x-8=\frac{x}{2} -2

where x is the unknown number.

to clear for x first we multiply the equation by 2, to eliminate the fraction:

2(2x-8=\frac{x}{2}-2 )\\4x-16=x-4

moving all terms with x to the left:

4x-x-16=-4\\3x-16=-4

and adding +16 to each side:

3x-16+16=-4+16\\3x=12

and finally, dividing by 3

x=\frac{12}{4} =4

the number is 4.
