--------------add
3x = 18
x = 6
x - y = 10
6 - y = 10
-y = 10 - 6
-y = 4
y = -4
solution is : (6,-4)

Answer:
x - 15 ÷ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it wants you to find the half of your answer after you find the difference, be sure to leave the two at the end of your equation. With that said, let's move into finding out what "the difference of a number and fifteen is". Whenever they tell you 'a number', it means they want you to put a variable, such as x, since you do not know the number and it could be any number. Now, the "difference" of something usually means...you guessed it, subtraction! Now that you've decoded your equation, you now know it means that x - 15 is the first part, and you can now put the one half right after it.
If this is confusing, I can explain further. :D
