Answer:

Number is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

one half  of the number is  [tex]\frac{1}{2} x[/tex]

6 subtracted from one half is 12, That is,

                                                             [tex]\frac{1}{2} x - 6 = 12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x = 12 +6 \\\\x = 18 \times 2 = 36[/tex]

The number would be 36
