Answer:

-16

Explanation:

1/2x + 6 = -2

Subtract 6 from both sides

1/2x +6 -6 = -2 -6

1/2x = -8

Multiply both sides by 2

1x = -8 * 2

x = -16

Answer:

x=-16

Explanation:

1/2x+6=-2

lets get rid of the 6 first by subtracting from both sides

1/2x=-8

get x by multiplying both sides by 2 because to get a whole from a half we have to multiply by 2

x=-16
