Respuesta :

we have the equation

step 1

(1/2)(x+8)=-30 --------> given

step 2

justification

Apply distributive property left side

(1/2)(x)+(1/2)(8)=-30

((x/2)+4=-30

step 3

justification

subtract 4 on both sides (subtraction equality property)

((x/2)+4-4=-30-4

x/2=-34

step 4

justification

Multiply on both sides by 2 (multiplication equality property )

2(x/2)=2(-34)

x=-68
