Hey

Here is your answer,

Let the unknown number be x.

4 + 2x = 26/5
2x = 26/5 - 4
2x = 26-20/5
2x = 6/5
X = 3/5

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Greetings..!

Let the number be x .

ATP, 4 is added to 2x to make 26/5.

⇒2x+4 = 26/5

⇒2x = (26/5) - 4 {transposing 4 to RHS}

⇒2x = (26-20)/5

⇒x = 6/5*1/2=3/5

Answer : Hence, the required fraction is 3/5
