Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given the expression after 4 has been subtracted from both sides as

1/2 x = - 1/2 x, the original expression will be gotten by adding back 4 to both sides of the resulting expression as shown;

1/2 x + 4 = - 1/2 x + 4

x/2 + 4 = -x/2 + 4

Find the LCM of both equation;

(x+8)/2 = (-x+8)/2

Multiplying both sides by 2 will give;

x+8 = -x+8

Collecting the like terms;

x+x = 8-8

2x = 0

x = 0/2

x = 0

Hence, the value of x is 0
