Answer 2

Given,

The statement: A number divided by 2 and then increased by 5 gives 9.

To find,

The value of the number.

Solution,

The number will be 8.

According to the question,

The statement: A number divided by 2 and then increased by 5 gives 9.

Let's take the number to be x.

Now, changing the statement into an algebraic expression:

(x/2) + 5 = 9

Taking the LCM of 2 and 1 and adding the two numbers:

(x+10)/2 = 9

Using the cross multiplication method,

(x+10) = 2×9

(x+10) = 18

Moving 10 from LHS to RHS,

x = (18-10)

x = 8

Hence, the number is 8.
