When subtracting 12 from three times the sum of 8 and a number, you get half of that number. Write and solve the equation for this sentence.

equation:  3(8 + x) - 12 = 1/2 x      

 -4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(8 + x) - 12 = 1/2 x

24 + 3x - 12 = 1/2 x

12 + 3x = 1/2 x

12 = - 2 1/2 x

- 4.8 =  x
