What’s my number?

I am thinking of a number. Can you guess what it is? Here are some clues:

I multiplied my number by 3, subtracted eight, doubled the result, and added 14.

Then I added on 50% of what I currently had and subtracted 11.

Then I divided by 5. After all that, I was left with 8!

What number did I start with?
