Question

1/5 added to two-third of a number gives half of the same number. Find the number.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Let the unknown number be 'x'

Hence, according to the question :

1/5 + 2/3x = 1/2x

1/5 = 1/2x - 2/3 x

1/5 = 3x-4x/6 [ taking LCM and solving]

1/5 = -x /6

Hence x = -6/5

Hope it helps!
