Explanation:
Let "x" represent the "unknown number".
→ "One-half" of a number , decreased by "6" ;
→ is written as: "1/2 of "x" , minus "6" .
Note that: " 1/2 of x " = " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * x " = " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x " .
Then, we subtract "6" ; from that value; to write the expression:

The expression written for: "Half of a number decreased by 6" is:
" [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x − 6 " ;
→ in which "x" represents the "unknown number" .
