Math Problem Statement

which of the following expressions represents "five more than half of x"?

Solution

The expression "five more than half of xx" can be broken down as follows:

  1. "Half of xx" is written as x2\frac{x}{2}.
  2. "Five more than" means you add 5 to that value.

Thus, the expression is:

x2+5\frac{x}{2} + 5
