Question

15 less than 3 times a number is the same as 5 more than half of the number. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x.

Now, according to the question,

3x - 15 = x/2 + 5

3x - x/2 = 15 + 5

6x - x/2 = 20

5x = 20 × 2

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8
