x=2
half of x
x/2
twice x
2x
the difference between x and 1
x-1
the sum of x and 5
5+x
1 more than half of x
2/x+1
Right
1 more than half of x
should be
x/2 + 1
To find the answer to each of these expressions, we can substitute the value of x into the given expression. Let's go through them one by one:
1. Half of x:
To find half of x, we divide x by 2:
half of x = x/2
2. Twice x:
To find twice x, we multiply x by 2:
twice x = 2x
3. The difference between x and 1:
To find the difference between x and 1, we subtract 1 from x:
the difference between x and 1 = x - 1
4. The sum of x and 5:
To find the sum of x and 5, we add 5 to x:
the sum of x and 5 = x + 5
5. 1 more than half of x:
To find 1 more than half of x, we first find half of x by dividing it by 2, and then add 1 to it:
1 more than half of x = (x/2) + 1
By substituting the value of x (which is given as 2), we get the following values for each expression:
1. half of x = 2/2 = 1
2. twice x = 2 * 2 = 4
3. the difference between x and 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
4. the sum of x and 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
5. 1 more than half of x = (2/2) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
