Question

translate the sentence into a equation using n as the unknown number . Then solve the equation for n . 5 increased by half a number is 11

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

Let the number be n, then:

5 + 1/2n = 11

1/2n = 11 - 5

1/2n = 6

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

n = 12.

Answer 2

I think it'll be 5 + n = 11

11 - 5 = 6

n = 6
