Answer:

10.4

Explanation:

10(0.5x + 6)= 8

Distribute 10 to each term inside the parentheses.

5x + 60 = 8

Subtract 60 from both sides of the equal sign.

5x = -52

Divide by 5 on both sides of the equal sign.

x= 10.4

Explanation:

Let x be the number.

We know that 10(x/2 + 6) = 8.

So (x/2 + 6) = 0.8

x/2 = 0.8 - 6 = -5.2

x = -5.2 * 2 = -10.4
