Question 648289
{{{8-(1/2)x=3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2(8-(1/cross(2))x)=2(3)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{2}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{16-1x=6}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{-x=6-16}}} Subtract {{{16}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-10)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=10}}} Reduce.
