4b. Diego then says, “If we take half of the first number and double thesecond, the sum is 14."Write an equation that could represent thisdescription. *

Respuesta :

Let the first number be x;

Then, if we take half of the first number, we have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times x \\ \frac{x}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let the first number be y;

Also, if we double the second, then we have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\times y \\ 2y \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, the sum of the two is 14, we have the equation as;

[tex]\frac{x}{2}+2y=14[/tex]
