Question

find a number which when added to its half given 42

Answer 1

Heya !


Here is yr answer
______________________________


Suppose the no. be x

its half is x/2

sum of the two nos. is equal to 42


=> x + x/2 = 42

=> 2x/2 + x/2 = 42

=> 2x+x /2 =42

=> 3x = 42 × 2

=> 3x = 84

=> x = 84/3

=> x = 28


its half ---

x/2

= 28/2

= 14



So, the no. is 28 and its half is 14


Hope it hlpz....
