half of a number decreased by 6

Question
Answer:
The answer is:           " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x  −  6 "  ._______________________________________________       →   in which "x" represents the "unknown number" .        _______________________________________________The expression written for: "Half of a number decreased by 6"  is:                →      " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x  −  6 "   ;  _____________________________________________                →   in which "x" represents the "unknown number" .________________________________________Explanation:Let "x" represent the "unknown number". →   "One-half" of a number , decreased by "6" ;               →  is written as:   "1/2 of "x" ,  minus "6" .Note that:  " 1/2 of x "  =  " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  * x "   =   " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  x "  .Then, we subtract "6" ; from that value;  to write the expression:________________________________________The expression written for:  "Half of a number decreased by 6"  is:                     "  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x  −  6 " ;                        →            in which "x" represents the "unknown number" .________________________________________Hope this helps!Best wishes in your academic endeavors — and within the "Brainly" community!________________________________________
