What value of x with make the equation below true? 1/2 (2x + 8) = 3x + 8 - x

Please help

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 (2x+8)=3x+8−x

Use the distributive property to multiply 1/2=0.5 by 2x+8.

1/2 x 2x+1/2x8=3x+8-x

Cancel out 2 and 2.

x+1/2 ×8=3x+8−x

Multiply 1/2 =0.5 and 8 to get  8/2=4.

x+8/2=3x+8−x

Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.

x+4=3x+8−x

Combine 3x and −x to get 2x.

x+4=2x+8

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x+4−2x=8

Combine x and −2x to get −x.

−x+4=8

Subtract 4 from both side

−x=4

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=−4
