Question

frame the equation and solve.half of a number added to 3 gives 14

Answer 1

let x be the no.

a/q

3+1/2x=14
1/2x=14-3
1/2x=11
x=22

3+1/2*22=14
3+11=14
14=14

proved!

Answer 2

let the number be x
$half \: of \: a \: number \: added \: to \: 3 \\ \frac{x}{2} + 3$
it gives 14.
therefore,the equation will be
$\frac{x}{2} + 3 = 14$
$\frac{x}{2} = 14 - 3$
$\frac{x}{2} = 11$
x=11×2

Therefore,
$x = 22$
is the Answer.
