Question

Write Into a algebraic expression?
Five times the difference of one-half of a number and two

Answer 1

i guess we need a variable right?

Answer 2

\(x\) is what the math teachers use so lets use that

Answer 3

if that is the "number" then one half that number is \(\frac{x}{2}\)

Answer 4

the difference between that number and 2 is \[\frac{x}{2}-2\]

Answer 5

five times that is
\[5\left(\frac{x}{2}-2\right)\]
