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]
