Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-40$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8+\frac{x}{2}=-12,\\\frac{x}{2}=-20,\\x=\boxed{-40}$

[Kowalski,] Analysis!

$8+\frac{x}{2}=-12$

Subtract 8 from both sides (we want to isolate $x$):

$\frac{x}{2}=-20$

Multiply both sides by 2 (want to isolate $x$):

$x=2\cdot -20=\boxed{-40}$
