The problem given is a simple linear equation that can be solved using basic algebraic manipulation. The equation provided is 1/2 x 10 = 8 - x, and we need to solve for x.
First, we simplify the left side of the equation by multiplying 1/2 by 10 to get 5. The equation now reads as 5 = 8 - x. To isolate x, we can subtract 5 from both sides which gives us -3 = -x. Finally, by multiplying both sides by -1, we find that x = 3.
