Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
with th information given we can express the equation:
[tex]2x-8=\frac{x}{2} -2[/tex]
where [tex]x[/tex] is the unknown number.
to clear for [tex]x[/tex] first we multiply the equation by 2, to eliminate the fraction:
[tex]2(2x-8=\frac{x}{2}-2 )\\4x-16=x-4[/tex]
moving all terms with [tex]x[/tex] to the left:
[tex]4x-x-16=-4\\3x-16=-4[/tex]
and adding +16 to each side:
[tex]3x-16+16=-4+16\\3x=12[/tex]
and finally, dividing by 3
[tex]x=\frac{12}{4} =4[/tex]
the number is 4.
