Question

Find the number, if the sum of 9 and a half a number equals 35. Which of the following translations is correct?

9 + x ÷ 2 = 35
9 + 2x = 35
9 + 35 = 2x
None of the choices are correct.

Answer 1

i think its the first choice
9+1/2x=35 is the original equation if you translate the words, but 9+x divided by 2=35 is equivalent
hope this helps!

Answer 2

Let's translate “ the sum of 9 and a half a number equals 35 " into an equation which is:
9+1/2x=35
Or
9+x÷2=35
Solve:
9+1/2x=35
Subtract 9 to each side
9+1/2x-9=35-9
1/2x=26
Multiply 2 to each side
1/2x*2=26*2
x=52
It
9+x÷2=35
Subtract 9 to each side
9+x÷2-9=35-9
x÷2=26
Multiply 2 to each side
x÷2*2=26*2
x=52. As a result, the correct choices are 9+x÷2=35. Hope it help!
