Question

Write and Solve an equation based of the verbal phrase. I0 less than half a number is 27

Answer 1

Answer:

74

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the number , then

$\frac{1}{2}$ n - 10 = 27 ( add 10 to both sides )

$\frac{1}{2}$ n = 37 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

n = 2 × 37 = 74

Answer 2

Answer:
-34
Explanation:
10 - 1/2x = 27
- 10 -10

-1/2x = 17
-1/2 / -1/2 = 17 / -1/2

x = -34
