One-half of a number, increased by 6, is less than 35.

Answer 1

x = number

x/2 = one half the number

one half of the number increased by 6

x/2 + 6

one half of the number increased by 6 is less than 35

x/2 + 6 < 35

subtract 6 from both sides

x/2 + 6 < 35 - 6

x/2 < 29

multiply both sides by 2

2(x/2) < 29 * 2

x < 58
