Question

Translate the sentence into an equation using n as the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n

Answer 1

Answer:

$5+\frac{n}{2}=11$

$n=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Translate the sentence into an equation using n as the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n.

5 increased by half a number is 11

Let

n ----> the unknown number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$5+\frac{n}{2}=11$

solve for n

Multiply by 2 both sides

$10+n=22$

subtract 10 both sides

$n=22-10$

$n=12$
