Answer 1

Question;

A number when added to its half give 72. Find the number

Solution:

let the no be x

and it's half be x/2

according to the question;

$x + \frac{x}{2} = 72$

$\frac{2 x + x}{2} = 72$

$\frac{3x}{2} = 72$

$3x = 72 \times 2$

$x = \frac{72 \times 2}{3}$

$x = 48$

therefore, the number is 48.

Answer 2

answer :

let the no be x

then it's half x/2

according to the Question:

$x + \frac{x}{2} = 72$

$\frac{2x + x}{2} = 72$

$3x = 144$

$x = 48$
