Answer 2

Algebraic expression to represent the statement is $Y=\frac{X}{2}+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let my present age is X years and my friend's age is Y.

Statement states that my friend's age is 5 more than half of my age.

My friend's age = Y years

Half of my age = $\frac{X}{2}$ years

5 more than half of my age = $\frac{X}{2}+5$

Therefore, by the given statement algebraic expression will be,

Y = $\frac{X}{2}+5$
