Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number.
We know that 10(x/2 + 6) = 8.
So (x/2 + 6) = 0.8
x/2 = 0.8 - 6 = -5.2
x = -5.2 * 2 = -10.4
Answer:
10.4
10(0.5x + 6)= 8
Distribute 10 to each term inside the parentheses.
5x + 60 = 8
Subtract 60 from both sides of the equal sign.
5x = -52
Divide by 5 on both sides of the equal sign.
x= 10.4
