Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:


(x)/(2) =50\\\\x = 100

»»————- ★ ————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Setting up an Equation...}}}\\\\\text{Half a number...}} \rightarrow(x)/(2) \\\\\text{...gives 50.} \rightarrow = 50\\\\\text{Half a number gives 50 should be: } (x)/(2) = 50

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Solving for 'x'...}}\\\\(x)/(2) = 50\\-------------\\\\\rightarrow( (x)/(2))2=50*2\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x = 100}}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
