Question

Which equation can be used to represent "three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four"?

(1 – n) – 3 = 6 plus 2 left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis 3 minus x right-parenthesis.(4 – 3n)

3 – (1 – n) = 6 plus 2 left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 3 right-parenthesis.(4 – 3n)

(n – 1) – 3 = left-parenthesis 6 plus 2 right-parenthesis left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis 3 minus x right-parenthesis.(3n – 4)

3 – (n – 1) = left-parenthesis 6 plus 2 right-parenthesis left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 3 right-parenthesis.(3n – 4)

Answer 1

D) 3 – (n – 1) = left-parenthesis 6 plus 2 right-parenthesis left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 3 right-parenthesis.(3n – 4)



Answer 2

3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)

Explanation:

We want to write three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four as an equation.

Let the number be n.

The first part is: three minus the difference of a number and one:

3 - (n - 1)

The second part is: one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four:

1/2(3n - 4)

Now, let us equate the first and second parts:

3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)
