Answer:

1/2x - 5 = 11

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) 1/2 a number means to multiply a number (x) to get half of the number. Therefore, we have to multiply 1/2 with x

2) Next, it says minus 5 which means to subtract 1/2x with 5

3) Finally, it says all of this equal to 11, so the final equation would be

1/2x - 5 = 11

4) x = 28 because half of 28 is 14. 14 minus 5 is equal to 11.

Hope this helps!
