That’s not right
My apologies for the incorrect response. To solve this problem, we need to perform subtraction and addition operations.
1. First, Reann gives half of her stickers to her friend. This means that she keeps half of the stickers for herself.
2. Then, her brother gives her 8 new stickers.
3. In the end, Reann has a total of 12 stickers.
To find the number of stickers Reann started with, we can follow these steps:
Let's assume Reann started with "x" stickers.
1. Reann gives half of her stickers to her friend: x/2
2. Her brother gives her 8 new stickers: x/2 + 8
3. Reann ends up with 12 stickers: x/2 + 8 = 12
To solve for the original number of stickers, x, we need to isolate the x on one side of the equation:
x/2 + 8 = 12
Subtract 8 from both sides: x/2 = 12 - 8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction: x = 4 * 2 = 8
Therefore, Reann started with 8 stickers.

I apologize for the confusion caused. The correct operations needed to solve the problem are addition and subtraction.
Let's assume Reann initially had "x" stickers.
1. Reann gives her friend half of her stickers: x/2.
2. Her brother gives her 8 new stickers, so she now has x/2 + 8 stickers.
3. Reann ends up with 12 stickers, so we can write the equation x/2 + 8 = 12.
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation:
x/2 + 8 = 12
Subtract 8 from both sides: x/2 = 12 - 8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction: x = 4 * 2 = 8.
Therefore, Reann initially had 8 stickers.
