How will you write (3) more than half of (x)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{x}{2}+3\)
Half of \(x\) is \(\frac{x}{2}\). “3 more than” means adding 3 to that quantity, so the correct expression is \(\frac{x}{2}+3\). \(\frac{x+3}{2}\) represents half of \(x+3\), so it is different. Exam tip: For “more than,” write the stated quantity first, then add the given number.
