"If 7 is subtracted from half a number,"

(x/2) - 7

"the absolute value of the result"

|(x/2) - 7|

"is 1"

= 1

The numbers with an absolute value of 1 are +1 and -1. So either (x/2) - 7 = 1 or (x/2) - 7 = -1. Solve those for x.

The number will be 16 or 12.

Absolute number :

Given that,

If 7 is subtracted from half the number, the absolute value of the result is 1.

Let us consider that number be x.

             [tex]|\frac{x}{2} -7|=1[/tex]

We have to solve above expression.

            [tex]\frac{x}{2} -7=1\\\\x=8*2=16[/tex]

         [tex]\frac{x}{2}-7=-1\\ \\x=6*2=12[/tex]

Thus, the number will be 16 or 12.
