<em>Additional comment</em>
Note that the first step could have been "divide by -2", which would result in the equation 5x+8 = -7 -3x. Subsequent steps would add 3x, subtract 8, and divide by 8, to give a result of x=-15/8. There is usually more than one way to work a math problem.
Ten (10) times (multiplication) the sum (addition) of half (
a number (n) and 6 is (=) 8.
10(
+ 6) = 8 Use the Distributive Property
5n + 60 = 8 Subtract 60 from both sides
5n = -52 Divide both sides by 5
n = -10
10(
5n + 60 = 8 Subtract 60 from both sides
5n = -52 Divide both sides by 5
n = -10
