To translate the phrase "One half of a number decreased by 16" into algebra, we can assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's say the number is represented by the variable "x."

"One half of a number" can be written as "(1/2)x" or "x/2."

And "decreased by 16" means we need to subtract 16 from the expression. So, the expression can be written as "(1/2)x - 16."

(1/2)n - 16

^Thank you very much!
