Hey there! :-)
Let the unknown number be s.
"half of a number" means we divide s by 2.
We write it like so:

Now, the problem says that we subtract 7:

- s/2-7=14
- s/2=14+7
- s/2=21
- Multiply both sides by 2:
- s=42
Therefore, the number is 42. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
x√5 = x square root 5
Step-by-step explanation:
√35x^5 ÷ √7x^3 = √(35x^5 / 7x^3)
√(35x^5 / 7x^3) = √(5x^5 / x^3)
√(5x^5 / x^3) = √5x^(5-3) = √5x²
√5x² = x√5
