To determine the original price \( p \) of the shirt, we can set up the equation based on the information given. We know that the current sale price of the shirt is $7.98, and this price represents half of the original price.

The equation can be written as:

\[
\frac{p}{2} = 7.98
\]

To isolate \( p \), we multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

\[
p = 7.98 \times 2
\]

Now calculate the right side:

\[
p = 15.96
\]

Thus, the original price of the shirt is:

\[
p = 15.96 \text{ dollars}
\]

I apologize for any confusion. Let's revisit the problem step by step.

Given:
- The sale price of the shirt is $7.98, which is half of its original price.

We can represent the original price as \( p \). The equation based on the information provided would be:

\[
\frac{p}{2} = 7.98
\]

To solve for \( p \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

\[
p = 7.98 \times 2
\]

Now let's perform the calculation:

\[
p = 15.96
\]

So the correct expression for the original price is:

\[
p = 15.96 \text{ dollars}
\]

This should correctly represent the original price of the shirt. If there is a specific aspect you believe is incorrect or if there's additional information, please let me know!

I see where the confusion might be. Let's clarify the equation properly.

Given that the sale price of the shirt is $7.98, which is half of its original price, we can represent this relationship as follows:

\[
\text{Half of the original price} = 7.98
\]

To represent the original price \( p \) in terms of this equation, we can write:

\[
\frac{p}{2} = 7.98
\]

To isolate \( p \), we multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

\[
p = 2 \times 7.98
\]

Now we can calculate:

\[
p = 15.96
\]

So the completed equation is:

\[
p = 2 \times 7.98
\]

And the original price of the shirt is:

\[
p = 15.96 \text{ dollars}
\]

Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clarifies the equation! If there’s anything else you need, feel free to ask.

To solve the equation \( 45 = x - 12 \) for \( x \), you need to isolate \( x \).

The operation currently affecting \( x \) is subtraction (subtracting 12). To eliminate that, you would use the inverse operation of subtraction, which is **addition**.

So, you would add 12 to both sides of the equation:

\[
45 + 12 = x
\]

This results in:

\[
57 = x
\]

Thus, the inverse operation needed to isolate \( x \) is **Addition**.

To solve the equation \( x + 11 = -17 \) for \( x \), we want to isolate \( x \) by eliminating the \( +11 \) on the left side.

The operation we need to reverse is addition (adding 11). The inverse operation of addition is **subtraction**. Therefore, we should **subtract 11** from both sides of the equation.

Here is how it looks:

1. Start with the equation:
\( x + 11 = -17 \)

2. Subtract 11 from both sides:
\( x + 11 - 11 = -17 - 11 \)

3. This simplifies to:
\( x = -28 \)

So, the correct answer is to **subtract 11** from both sides of the equation.

To solve the equation \(-8m = 16\) for \(m\), you should divide both sides of the equation by \(-8\).

So, the number you should divide by is:

\(-8\)
