Question

8 Sara buys a shirt that regularly costs $12 and a pair of pants that regularly costs $26.

They are on sale, so she only needs to pay half the regular cost. Evaluate the expression
× (12 +26) to find Sara's cost in dollars..

Answer 1

12+26=38 Nevermind I cant solve this I’m confused why is there an 8 at the beginning and why is x alone if we’re not distributing
