Answer:
x=-16
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2x+6=-2
lets get rid of the 6 first by subtracting from both sides
1/2x=-8
get x by multiplying both sides by 2 because to get a whole from a half we have to multiply by 2
-16
1/2x + 6 = -2
Subtract 6 from both sides
1/2x +6 -6 = -2 -6
1/2x = -8
Multiply both sides by 2
1x = -8 * 2
x = -16
