Question 974993: How would I write, Three times the sum of half a natural number and twice the number before it.
I think it might be 3(n/2+2(n+1)) I'm just not sure. n/2 is a fraction by the way, n over 2.
Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n = some unknown natural number

n/2 = half of that natural number

n-1 = number right before the unknown natural number

2*(n-1) = twice the number before the natural number n

-------------------------------------------------------

So you should have this instead 3%2A%28n%2F2%2B2%2A%28n-1%29%29
