Answer:  The number is:  "2" .
_______________________________________________________
The expression is:  2 − (½)x = (½)<span>x  ;
                </span>→<span> in which "x" is the "unknown number".
</span>_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Given:  
_________________________________________________________
"Two decreased by a half of a number is one-half<span> of the number" ; 

Let "x" represent the "unknown number" for which we wish to solve;

Write the expression as:
_________________________________________________
" </span>2 − (½)x = (½)x " .
_________________________________________________
Note:  Add "(½)x" to EACH SIDE of the equation:
_________________________________________________
2 − (½)x + (½)x = (½)x + (<span>½)</span>x ;

to get:
_________________________________________________
       →  2 = 1x ; 

       ↔  1x = 2 ;
 
       ↔ x = 2 .
_________________________________________________
Answer:  The number is:  " 2 " .

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 25 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. Species
jarptica [38.1K]
If the growth rate is a constant, we can model it using a linear equation:

y = b + ax

where b = initial value, a = growth rate.
In this case, x = m = number of months.

Let's find the equation for the growth of each species.

Species A:
Initial height = b = 25 cm
Growth rate = a = 3 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 25 + 3m

Species B:
Initial height = b = 10 cm
Growth rate = a = 8 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 10 + 8m

Thus the answer is A: H(m) = 25 + 3m and B: H(m) = 10 + 8m.

<h3>Graph of Linear Equations</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the graph of the system of linear equations

The given system of equations is

x - 2y = 5

3x + 15y = -6

The graph of the given system of equation is shown below

From the graph,

The point of intersection of the lines is at (3, -1)

Hence, the solution to the given system of linear equations is (3, -1)
