Question

Rose's stamp collection is 7 less than half of Van's stamp collection, x. Which expression represents the total number of stamps that Rose has? 7x−12 12−7x 12x−7 7−12x

Answer 1

12X- 7 is the answer.

Answer 2

`(1)/(2) x-7`

Explanation:

Rose's stamp collection is 7 less than half of Van's stamp collection, x

Given stamp collection is x

For half of Van's stamp collection, x , Half is 1/2

`(1)/(2) x`

7 less than half of Van's stamp collection, x

Subtract 7 from the expression we got
`(1)/(2) x`

`(1)/(2) x-7`
