Question

the number 6 is halfway between-12 and what?

Answer 1

Set up an equation:

(-12 + x)/2 = 6

Multiply 2 to both sides:

-12 + x = 12

Add 12 to both sides:

x = 24

Answer 2

so the number between -12 and x is 6, that means that if you add the 2 numbers together, then divide by 2, then you will get 6 so
(-12+x)/2=6
multiply both sdies yb 2
-12+x=12
add 12 to both sdies
x=24

so 6 is halfway between -12 and 24
