Question

Half a number gives fifty in equation form

Answer 1

Hi there!  

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:  

$\frac{x}{2} =50\\\\x = 100$

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

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

⸻⸻⸻⸻

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

⸻⸻⸻⸻
