Question

A number increased by 5 then divided by 2

Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 5) /2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" (this will represent as "x")

"increased" another way to say add or "+"

then divided by 2

If you wrote it out like this "x+5/2"it would be wrong because of PEMDAS making you want to divide first instead of after.
