Answer:

Hey mate;

Step-by-step explanation:

Let required no. be x

x×4 - 20 +2= 50

4x-18= 50

4x= 50+18

4x= 68

x= 68/4

x= 17

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

so, four times it will be =4x

then subtracting twenty will be 4x-20

half a century is here 50 (as 100/2)

so it will be as

$\frac{100}{2} - 2 = 4x - 20 \\ 50 - 2 = 4x - 20 \\ 48 + 20 = 4x \\ 68 = 4x \\ \frac{68}{4} = x \\ 17 = x$

hopefully this may help you !!!
