Ok, so first you can cancel out any numbers you don't need. $$-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x + 1 -1 = -x + 8 - 1$$ Which leaves you with $$-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x = -x - 7$$

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−1/2x+1=−x+8
Step 1: Add x to both sides.
−1/2x+1+x=−x+8+x
1/2x+1=8
Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1/2x+1−1=8−1
1/2x=7
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.
2*(1/2x)=(2)*(7)
x=14
Answer:
x=14
