"More" in a word problem means addition is involved. "Half" indicates division by 2 (or multiplication by 1/2). "A number" means a variable, so we can us x. Finally, "is" mean equals. So, 15 more than half a number is 19 would be represented as follows:

15 + x/2 = 19

Solving this, we get:

15 + x/2 = 19

x/2 = 4

x = 8
