Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume the equation is:

[tex]3x-8=\frac{8x+4}{2}[/tex]

So, we will cross multiply, do multiplication, and then take variables to one side and numbers to another then solve for the variable x. Process is shown below:

[tex]3x-8=\frac{8x+4}{2}\\2(3x-8)=8x+4\\6x-16=8x+4\\-16-4=8x-6x\\-20=2x\\x=\frac{-20}{2}\\x=-10[/tex]

The value of x is -10
