Question

Half of sum of x and 2 gives -8

Answer 1

Answer:

X + 2 / 2 = -8

X + 2 = -8 × 2

X + 2 = -16

X = -16 - 2

X = -18

verification

= -18 + 2

= -16

half of the sum

= -16/2

= -8

hence proved

Answer 2

Answer:

X=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let half sum of x be 1/2x

A.T.Q

X/2+2=-8

X/2=-8-2

X/2=-10 (cross multiply)

X= - 20
