1.) c = 8 + n/2

2) (3/5)b - 7 = a

3) h/3 + 2.5 = w

Hope this explains it.

Question 1:

half the number n is
(1)/(2) n

8 more means that we will add more

Therefore:

c =
(1)/(2) n + 8

Question 2:

three fifth of b is
(3)/(5) b

7 less means that we will subtract 7 from the given amount

This means that:

a =
(3)/(5) b - 7

Question 3:

the quotient of h and 3 means that we will divide h by 3 giving
(h)/(3)

2.5 more means that we will add 2.5

This means that:

w =
(h)/(3) + 3

Hope this helps :)
