1.) c = 8 + n/2
2) (3/5)b - 7 = a
3) h/3 + 2.5 = w
Hope this explains it.
Question 1:
half the number n is \(\frac{1}{2} n\)
8 more means that we will add more
Therefore:
c = \(\frac{1}{2} n\) + 8
Question 2:
three fifth of b is \(\frac{3}{5} b\)
7 less means that we will subtract 7 from the given amount
This means that:
a = \(\frac{3}{5} b\) - 7
Question 3:
the quotient of h and 3 means that we will divide h by 3 giving \(\frac{h}{3}\)
2.5 more means that we will add 2.5
This means that:
w = \(\frac{h}{3}\) + 3
Hope this helps :)
