Question

Which equation can be used to represent the statement?

Half of a number minus seven is one and five-tenths.
One-half + x = 1.5
One-half x minus 1.5 = 7
StartFraction x over 2 EndFraction minus 7 = 1.5
7 minus Start Fraction x over 2 EndFraction = 1.5

Answer 1

I would say the 3rd one cause it makes more sense and it goes along with the statement

Explanation:

I'm sorry if I'm wrong

Answer 2

Explanation:

1/2x - 7 = 1 5/10

1/2 + x = 1.5

1/2x - 1.5 = 7

x/2 - 7 = 1.5

7 - x/2 = 1.5
