To solve this problem, we would need to use the operation of subtraction and addition.
First, Renan gives half of her stickers to her friend, so we would subtract the number of stickers she gave away from the initial number of stickers she had.
Next, her brother gives her 8 new stickers, so we would add these to the remaining number of stickers.
Finally, we need to check if Renan ends up with 12 stickers.
