Translate the sentence into an equation using n as the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n
increased by half a number is 11.
5 +0.5n = 11
c. 5(0.5n) = 11
n=12
n=4.4
5n + 0.5 = 11
n=2.1
d. 5n +0.5 = 11
n=12

Answer:

[tex]5+\frac{n}{2}=11[/tex]

[tex]n=12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Translate the sentence into an equation using n as the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n.

5 increased by half a number is 11

Let

n ----> the unknown number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

[tex]5+\frac{n}{2}=11[/tex]

solve for n

Multiply by 2 both sides

[tex]10+n=22[/tex]

subtract 10 both sides

[tex]n=22-10[/tex]

[tex]n=12[/tex]
