To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.

Answer:
Charlie by 60 words more.
Step-by-step explanation:
60 x 30 = 180
40 x 30 = 120
180 - 120 = 60
49w² -112w + 64
first, you have to find 2 numbers that add up to equal -112, but also multiply together to get a product of 3136 (49 * 64)
two numbers that add to -112 and multiply to equal 3136 is -56 and -56
we can add them into the equation by putting them in for -112x
49w²-56w-56w+64
we now look at what the first 2 numbers have in common and what the last two numbers have in common
49w² and -56w both have w and 7 in common so we can divide 7w
7w(7w -8)
-56w and 64 both have -8 in common so we can divide by -8
-8(7w-8)
now we take the 2 numbers on the outside and bring down the numbers in the brackets
(7w-8)(7w-8)
(7w-8)²
