Question

Translate this statement into an equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2x = 3*(27-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

Is means equals

Difference means subtract

1/2x = 3*(27-12)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} x = 3(27-12)$

or

$\frac{x}{2} = 3(27-12)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of a number is equal to three times the difference between 27 and 12.

Half of a number ($x$): $\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{x}{2}$

Three times the difference between 27 and 12: $3(27-12)$

$\frac{1}{2} x = 3(27-12)$

By the way, we can find the value of $x$

$\frac{x}{2} = 3(27-12)$

$\frac{x}{2} = 3(27-12)$

$\frac{x}{2} = 45$

$x = 90$
