Question

From 2/3 of a number, 16 is subtracted. The result is half the number. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

: let the number be 'x'.

:multiply 2/3 with x and then subract 16 from that number.

:so this is equal to half of the x.

: the equation is ,

2x/3 - 16 = 1/2x

2x/3 - x/2 =16

4x-3x /6= 16

x/6= 16

x= 16x6

x= 96

checking: 2/3 x 96 - 16 = 96/2

2 x32 - 16 = 48

64-16= 48

48= 48.
