A number when added to its half gives 72. Find the number. |
|
Answer» Let the required number be x.Then, = x + (x/2) = 72 = (2x + x)/ 2 = 72 = 3x/2 = 72 Multiplying both side by (2) = (3x/2) × (2) = 72 × 2 = 3x = 144 Again, multiplying both side by (1/3) = 3x × (1/3) = 144 × (1/3) = x = 48 ∴ The required number is 48 |
