If 4 is added to a half of a number the result is equal to 8 ,what is the number

The equation would be 4 + 1/2x = 8

To solve it, first you would subtract 4 from both sides:

4 + 1/2x - 4 = 8 - 4

1/2x = 4

Then you would multiply by 2 on both sides:

1/2x(2) = 4(2)

x = 8

___

Check:

4 + 1/2(8) = 8

4 + 4 = 8

8 = 8
