can youcheck these

write a 2 step equation:
half a dollar minus five dollars equals fifteen dollars:
n/2 -5 = 15

five hours more than one half of an hour equals fifteen hours:
n/2 + 5 = 15

two less than three times the number of feet of fencing required equals twelve feet: 3n -2 = 12

eight less than the quotient of daves gold score and 4 equals negative five
i got: s/4 -8 = -5

three times gails age increased by 2 years equals twelve years
i got: 3n +2 = 12

eight fewer than 4 times the elevation of a city equals negative five
4e - 8 = -5

can you check these? thank you

I don't understand your first two problems.

The next is right.

(s/4)- 8 = -5

The last is also right.

1)write a 2 step equation:

1) half a dollar minus five dollars equals fifteen dollars:
n/2 -5 = 15
no im not sure on this one

2) five hours more than one half of an hour equals fifteen hours:
n/2 + 5 = 15
so n = 20
20/2 is 10 + 5 = 15

Translate three-fourths less than a number

Let's check the equations one by one:

1. n/2 - 5 = 15:
To check this equation, we need to solve it and see if it holds true.
Add 5 to both sides of the equation: n/2 - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5
Simplifying, we have: n/2 = 20
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2: (2)(n/2) = (2)(20)
The 2's cancel on the left side, leaving us with: n = 40

So, the equation n/2 - 5 = 15 is correct if n equals 40.

2. n/2 + 5 = 15:
Similarly, let's solve this equation.
Subtract 5 from both sides: n/2 + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5
Simplifying, we have: n/2 = 10
Multiply both sides by 2: (2)(n/2) = (2)(10)
The 2's cancel on the left side, leaving us with: n = 20

So, the equation n/2 + 5 = 15 is correct if n equals 20.

3. 3n - 2 = 12:
To check this equation, let's solve it.
Add 2 to both sides: 3n - 2 + 2 = 12 + 2
Simplifying, we have: 3n = 14
Divide both sides by 3: (1/3)(3n) = (1/3)(14)
The 3's cancel on the left side, leaving us with: n = 14/3

So, the equation 3n - 2 = 12 is correct if n equals 14/3.

4. s/4 - 8 = -5:
To check this equation, let's solve it.
Add 8 to both sides: s/4 - 8 + 8 = -5 + 8
Simplifying, we have: s/4 = 3
Multiply both sides by 4: (4)(s/4) = (4)(3)
The 4's cancel on the left side, leaving us with: s = 12

So, the equation s/4 - 8 = -5 is correct if s equals 12.

5. 3n + 2 = 12:
Let's solve this equation to check it.
Subtract 2 from both sides: 3n + 2 - 2 = 12 - 2
Simplifying, we have: 3n = 10
Divide both sides by 3: (1/3)(3n) = (1/3)(10)
The 3's cancel on the left side, leaving us with: n = 10/3

So, the equation 3n + 2 = 12 is correct if n equals 10/3.

6. 4e - 8 = -5:
To check this equation, let's solve it.
Add 8 to both sides: 4e - 8 + 8 = -5 + 8
Simplifying, we have: 4e = 3
Divide both sides by 4: (1/4)(4e) = (1/4)(3)
The 4's cancel on the left side, leaving us with: e = 3/4

So, the equation 4e - 8 = -5 is correct if e equals 3/4.

All the equations have been checked and they are correct based on the respective values of n, s, and e.
