1.seven times one number is half of another number?

Let two letters represent the numbers. I will use x and y.


7x = (1/2)y

We can also write the answer as 7x = (y/2).

Either way is correct.


2. The difference of x squared and thirty is five.


The word difference means to subtract.

x^2 - 30 = 5

Done!
