Half a number x minus 5 is 11

Mathematics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1/2x - 5 = 11

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) 1/2 a number means to multiply a number (x) to get half of the number. Therefore, we have to multiply 1/2 with x

2) Next, it says minus 5 which means to subtract 1/2x with 5

3) Finally, it says all of this equal to 11, so the final equation would be

1/2x - 5 = 11

4) x = 28 because half of 28 is 14. 14 minus 5 is equal to 11.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First make x = 4 and y = 3 in the equation y = -1/2x + 5

it should look like 3 = -1/2(4) + 5 now we can solve

   -1/2 * 4 = -2         →      3 = -2 +5

       -2 + 5 = 3         →          3 = 3
