Easy Question :) Help though?
(-1/2)x-(-3)=8

Answer 1

first multiply -1 by =3

Answer 2

(-x/2) x -(-3) = 8
(-x/2)x (+3) = 8 [minus by minus = +]
(-x/2)x 3 = 8 [numerator by numerator]
-3x/2 = 8
-3x = 8 x 2 [ multiply both sides by 2]
-3x = 16
3x = -16 [ multiply both sides by -1]
x = -16/3 or -5 and 1/3.

Answer 3

first of multiply -1 by -3 then you have left +3
3 is adding on left side not multiplying by -1/2 x
