is transposed from one side of the equation to the other ... x + z = y + z ... is 20 less than the number itself. ... Example 13 : Two times a number increased by 5 equals 9.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

As per statement, one-third of this number x is 5 less than half of the same number x

1/3x = 1/2x - 5

x/3 = x/2 - 5

x/3 - x/2 = -5

(2x - 3x)/ 6 = -5

Cross multiplication

2x - 3x = 6 × -5

—x = —30

x = 30
