Question

If4 is added to a half of anumber, the result is equal to 8 what is the number

Answer 1

We have:
`$4+0.5x=8`. Isolating the
`x` term, we subtract
`4` from each side and get
`0.5x=4`. We multiply each side by
`2` and get
`x=8`.

Substituting back into the statement, we get:

Half of
`8` is
`4`.

`4+4` is
`\boxed{8}\\`.

So, 8 is our answer.
