Answer:
The half of a number is increased by 10 is 12. What is the number?
Flexible support where it's needed.
Remember that “of” means multiplication, so from your question we infer the following equation:
(1/2)x + 10 = 12
First, subtract 10 from both sides:
(1/2)x = 2
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
x = 4
Now substitute for x in the original equation to prove this:
(1/2)x + 10 = 12
x = 4
(1/2)4 + 10 = 12
4/2 + 10 = 12
2 + 10 = 12
12 = 12
