Question

Three more than one-half of a number is equal to 2 less than the number

Answer 1

3 + x/2 = x - 2

Explanation:

Three more than half of a number is displayed by adding 3 to half of x:

3 + x/2

Two less than that same number is displayed by subtracting 2 from x:

x - 2

We know these both equal one another:

3 + x/2 = x - 2
