Yeah for this one you can simply subtract 8 from both sides, and then divide by 2 to find x!! for the advice portion, i would say make sure you’re not over-complicating things!!
The slope intercept form of that equation would be y = 1/2x + 1. 1 would be the y-intercept, and 1/2 would be the slope. If you are looking for the answers to y and x, you would need another equation containing those variables to figure that out.
