Question

Which equation can be used to represent the statement?

Half of a number minus seven is one and five-tenths.

Answer 1

Answer:
.5x-7= 1 5/10

Step by step explanation:
For half of the number, .5 is equivalent to half. For “x” that’s the variable. You don’t know the variable, which is why it is used in the equation. You subtract 7 and set it to equal 1 5/10.
