Question

Which equation represents this sentence? One-half the sum of a number and four is three less than the quotient of five and the number. 12n+4=5n−3 12(n+4)=5n−3 12n+4=3−5n 12(n+4)=3−5n

Answer 1

b.) 1/2(n 4)=5/n−3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

"one half the sum of a number and 4" is (1/2)(n + 4)

"three less than the quotient of 5 and the number" is 5/n - 3

putting this all together, we get

(1/2)(n + 4) = (5/n) - 3
