a number is 5 more than half of another number. write this problem

Answer 1

Greetings Courtney!

I presume you are speaking about converting this statement into the actual equation!

In that case,

A number is 5 more than half another number is converted into

A number = x

another number = y

is means "="

more than means "+"

half = 1/2

of means 'mutliply' (*)

Now, lets put it all together!

(A number) (is) 5 (more than) (half) (of) (another number) | x = 5 + (1/2)y

I hope this helps!
