Question

$35+0.50()=52 what does this equal

Answer 1

Put any Variable in between the parentheses, for example x.

Explanation:

1. Move the Constant 35 to the other side of the problem, and flip it's sign.

0.5(×)=52-35

2. Subtract the numbers

0.5×=17

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.5

×=34

Answer 2

`(34)`

Explanation:

We are looking for what number times .50 makes the equation true.

So, just do backwards equation:

`52 - 35`

`==> 17`

Thus, meaning that what multiplied by 0.50 is equal to 17?
