The number which is represented by the expression "five more than a certain number is 4 less than one-half that number" is -2/3

let

the unknown number = x

x + 5 = 4 - 1/2x

x + 1/2x = 4 - 5

1 1/2x = -1

x = -1 ÷ 3/2

= -1 × 2/3

= -2/3

Therefore, the number which is represented by the expression "five more than a certain number is 4 less than one-half that number" is -2/3
