Try:

=ROUND((12.8+69-(34*2))/2,0)

This gives the answer 7 and the final zero sets the number of decimal places to display.

In general, have the list of numbers in a separate column and replace the "number" in the formula with the cell reference of the number it has to work with. For example, if it is the 12.8 it has to work with, put that in cell A1 and make the formula:

=ROUND((A1+69-(34*2))/2,0)
