First write down '5 + b'
NB in algebra you must always show the plus sign.
Next put the '5 + b' in brackets. ; (5 + b)
When you require half of this value , you are dividing by '2' . So it is written as
(5 + b)/2
NNB the 'slash sign ; '/' represents divide in algebra.
NNNB Do not write 5 + b/2 , because this means the 'whole number '5' is added to half of 'b' only/ You must use the brackets.
e.g.
Let 'b' = 7
So '5 + 7' = ( 5 + 7) =>
( 5 + 7) / 2
#Remember the rule in maths ; you do inside the brackets first.
Hence ( 5 + 7) / 2 = 12 /2 Then divide 12/2 = 6 The Answer.
For the other method you will a completely different answer.
5 + 7/2 = 5 + 3.5 = 8.5
Hope that helps!!!!!
The expression which represents half the sum of five and a number b is (b+5)/2.
n/2 + 4
Let the number x and so: 1/2x +6 = 1/3x with the value of x being -36
well doesn't six point five mean 6 and five tenths wich equals one half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
t+0.5+t=2t
56/2
It is n/2 + 5
5>1/2 t or 5>1/2nt
.5x +5
[Number of players]/2
x/2
1/2 n
24 85
The answer follows.
A flock is a group of birds; there is no specific number that a flock represents. Half of a flock is simply "half of a flock"
It's five and a halve
32 - n/2
Where the number=n: (n/2)+8.
