Solve - 0.5 (-2x+8) - 8 = 8.

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

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
