Answer: x = 52.

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to add 1/2 on both sides of the equation to cancel out the 1/2 on the left side of the equation. Now your left with x/8 = 6.5 Then, to get x by itself you would have to cancel out the 8 in the denominator of x/8 by multiplying 8 on both sides of the equation because the opposite of division is multiplication and that cancels out the 8 on the left side. Now your left with x = 6.5 × 8. When you multiply everything on the right side, you get the final answer of x = 52!

I hope this is right! Sorry if its not :)
