Question

The difference between a number and eleven is three more than half the number is???

Answer 1

Let the number be x. Then to find x you need to solve the following equation:
\[x-11+3=\frac{x}{2}\]

Answer 2

so it would look like this?
x - 11 = x/2 + 3

Answer 3

Not really.
x - 11 + 3 = x/2
Then subtracting 3 from both sides gets
x - 11 = x/2 - 3
