Twice a number is 27 more than half the number. what is the number?

twice a number: 2x

is 27 more than half the number: 1/2x

2x = 1/2x + 27

Isolate the x. Subtract 1/2x from both sides

2x (-1/2x) = 1/2x (-1/2x) + 27

2x - 1/2x = 27

1.5x = 27

Isolate the x. Divide 1.5 from both sides

1.5x/1.5 = 27/1.5

x = 27/1.5

x = 18

18 is the number

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
