6%2Bx=x%2F2%2B8 Start with the given equation.


2%286%2Bx%29=2%28x%2Fcross%282%29%2B8%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 2 to clear any fractions.


12%2B2x=x%2B16 Distribute and multiply.


2x=x%2B16-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


2x-x=16-12 Subtract x from both sides.


x=16-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=4 Combine like terms on the right side.
