Let's evaluate each expression to determine which one has a value of 8.

  1. (9 + 7) ÷ 2 \((9 + 7) = 16\) \(\Rightarrow 16 ÷ 2 = 8\)

  2. 11 - 6 - 3 \(11 - 6 = 5\) \(\Rightarrow 5 - 3 = 2\)

  3. 4 + 30 ÷ 6 \(30 ÷ 6 = 5\) \(\Rightarrow 4 + 5 = 9\)

  4. 1 + 1 x (2 + 2) \(2 + 2 = 4\) \(\Rightarrow 1 x 4 = 4\) \(\Rightarrow 1 + 4 = 5\)

The only expression that has a value of 8 is (9 + 7) ÷ 2.
