Answer:

Add 8 to both sides and then multiply each side by 2

Explanation:

Since 8 is negative, we need to add 8 to move 8 to the other side and eliminate it from its original side.

Since x is being divided by 2, we need to multiply by two to isolate x.

Lets solve the equation and see the steps so it is easier.

x/2 - 8 = 14

Add eight to both sides of the equation to get x/2 alone.

x/2 - 8 + 8 = 14 + 8

x/2 = 22

Multiply both sides by two to get x alone.

x/2 • 2 = 22 • 2

x = 44

Now we see the steps we made. Lets look at the choices. Your answer is the third choice. I hope this helps!
