Apologies for the incorrect response.

To solve this problem, we need to utilize subtraction and addition operations.

First, Reann gives half of her stickers to her friend. This can be represented as a subtraction operation.

Let's say Reann starts with "x" stickers. After giving half to her friend, she has "x/2" stickers remaining.

Next, her brother gives her 8 new stickers. We can represent this as an addition operation.

The total number of stickers Reann has now is (x/2) + 8.

Finally, it is stated that Reann ends up with 12 stickers. We can set up an equation to represent this:

(x/2) + 8 = 12

To solve this equation for "x," we would subtract 8 from both sides to isolate (x/2) and then multiply both sides by 2 to solve for "x."
