Answer:

x+6=y and 3x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance traveled by Bryan and let y be the distance traveled by Sam then the first equation would be:

x+6=y (x plus 6 is equal to y, Bryan's distance plus 6 is equal to Sam's distance) and the second one is:

3x=12 (3 times x is 12, 3 times the distance travelled by Bryan is 12)

So our statements/equations are:

x+6=y and

3x=12 (we dont write this as x=4 as it asks us to give the statements we got from the information given, we only start simplifying once it tells us to solve)

4 less than half a number is equal to 2 more than the number

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

$-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let that number be $x$ . We can build an equation, and solve for $x$ .

$4$ less than half of $x$ is $x/2-4$ .

$2$ more than $x$ is $x+2$ .

We are given that the two quantities are equal, so we have that $x/2-4=x+2$ .

Adding $4$ to both sides gives $x/2=x+6$ .

Multiplying both sides by $2$ gives $x=2(x+6)=2x+12$ .

Subtracting $2x$ from both sides gives $-x=12$ .

Multiplying both sides by $-1$ gives $x=-12$ .

So, the number is $\boxed{-12}$ and we're done!

The check is left as an exercise to the reader.
