Emmaline weighs 92 pounds. Her weight is 6 pounds more than half of her fathers weight. How much does her father weigh?

Make her father's weight = x.

Write the equation: 

[tex]92 = ( \frac{x}{2} ) + 6[/tex]

Subtract 6 from both sides:

[tex]86 = \frac{x}{2} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2:

[tex]172 = x[/tex] 

Her father weighs 172 pounds.
