Answer:
[tex]-54[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number being halved is x, we can write the expression
[tex]7-0.5x=34[/tex]
Now, bring like terms and solve!
[tex]-0.5x=27[/tex]
Multiple both sides by -2 and you get
[tex]x=-54[/tex]
Wanna check the answer? Well...
[tex]7-(-54*0.5)=7+27=34[/tex]
