Not sure how to make an equation for this problem. The equation I put was 86 - 8 = b x 2 = 156. But, it is starting that is incorrect. How do I go about this problem?

Answer:

b/2 + 8 = 86

b = 156

Explanation:

Half the comics is b/2

b/2 + 8 = 86

Subtract 8 from both sides

b/2 = 78

multiply both sides by 2

b = 156
