Let's represent the number as x. We can set up the equation as:
(1/2)(x + 10) = 8
To solve for x, we'll first multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
x + 10 = 16
Next, we'll subtract 10 from both sides:
x = 6
Therefore, the number is 6.
Half the sum of a number and 10 is 8. Find the number.
