Ten times the sum of half a number 6 is 8

10 (x/2+6) = 8

10 (x/2+6/1) = 8

10x/2+60/1=8

5x=8-60

5x=-52

5x/5=-52/5

x=-10.4

so you can test if the answer is correct by putting x=-10.4 back into the original equation. if you'll get 8 as your answer, then the solution is correct.

=> 8 = 8 Maybe?

Sorry if this isnt right!
