Answer: Number = 36

Explanation:

Given expression in word

Twelve less than half a number is six

Convert word into a numerical expression

(1/2)x - 12 = 6

Add 12 on both sides

(1/2)x - 12 + 12 = 6 + 12

(1/2)x = 18

Multiply 2 on both sides

(1/2)x · 2 = 18 · 2


\bolded{\boxed{x=36}}

Hope this helps!! :)
