Find what x is...
0.5x-8=12

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

So first you would do 12+8=20

Then you would do 20÷0.5=40

Now you want to check your answer

0.5x40=20 and 20-8=12

So x=40

Step-by-step explanation:
