Question

Write as an algebraic expression: a number that is 5 more than half of z

Answer 1

1/2z +5 is the answer

Answer 2

Hey there!

We'll use our keyword of, which means we're multiplying. For example:
1/2 of 6 means 1/2 times 6, which equals three.

In our case, we want one half of z, meaning one half times z. That means we have:


`(1)/(2)z`

Now, we have to add the "five more". This means the quantity of one half of z is increased by 5, also known as adding 5. Therefore, we have:


`(1)/(2)z +5`

Hope this helps!
