Answer 1

its c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

Statement is "Half of a number minus seven is one and five-tenths."

To find:

The equation for the given statement.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be x.

Half of a number :
`(x)/(2)`

Half of a number minus seven :
`(x)/(2)-7`

One and five-tenths :
`1(5)/(10)=1.5`

Half of a number minus seven is one and five-tenths:

`(x)/(2)-7=1.5`

The required equation for the given statement is
`(x)/(2)-7=1.5`.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
