Four less than half a number is 17 .how would i solve this?

First, let's define the number we are looking for as n.

So "half a number" is (1/2)×n

Therefore, "four less than" this would be: ((12)×n)−4

And if this is or, in other words, = to #17 we can write the equation:

((12)×n)−4=17

Solving for n while keeping the equation balanced gives:

((12)×n)−4+4=17+4

(12)×n=21

(21)×(12)×n=21×(21)

((21)×(12))×n=421

1×n=42

n=42

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
