    Let's turn this english into numbers:

    The time it takes Tomás to bike to the community center is 2 minutes less than half the time it takes him to bike to the city park.

    Since p = the time it takes Tomás to bike to the park, and it takes18 minutes to bike to the community center, the sentence turns into:

    18 = 2 minutes less than half p

    18 = 2 minutes less than 1/2p

    18 = 1/2p-2

    D. 1/2p-2=18
