Question 1039553
.
One half of a number is -12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I assume the question should be   "Find the number".


<U>Answer</U>. &nbsp;If "One half of a number is &nbsp;-12", &nbsp;then the number is &nbsp;-24.


<U>Solution</U>. &nbsp;&nbsp;{{{(1/2)*x}}} = {{{-12}}}  --->  x = 2*(-12) = -24.
