We can solve this problem using subtraction and addition operations.
Let x be the number of stickers Reann started with.
Reann gives half of her stickers to her friend, leaving her with x/2 stickers.
Then her brother gives her 8 new stickers, leaving her with x/2 + 8 stickers.
Finally, Reann ends up with 12 stickers, so x/2 + 8 = 12.
To find x, we can solve for x in the equation x/2 + 8 = 12.
Subtracting 8 from both sides, we get x/2 = 4.
Multiplying both sides by 2, we get x = 8.
Therefore, Reann started with 8 stickers.
Reann has stickers. She gives her friend half, and then her brother gives her 8 new ones. She ends up with 12 stickers. How many did she start with?
