Question

Riley and Francesca both commute to work. Riley's commute on the train takes 12 minutes more than one half as many minutes as Francesca's commute by car. It takes Riley 36 minutes to get to work. Write an equation to determine how many minutes it takes Francesca to get to work.

36 = one halfx − 12
36 = 2x − 12
36 = 2x + 12
36 = one halfx + 12

according to the text, we can make the equation :

12 + (one half) x = 36

or 36 = one half x + 12
