Question

Half a block of wood plus 6 kg weighs the same as the block of wood. what is the weight of the block? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the weight of block be x

$(x ÷2) + 6 = x \\ 6 = x - (x \div 2) \\ 6 = x \div 2 \\ x = 12$

Answer 2

Answer:

12 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Half of the weight of the block of wood + 6 kg = Weight of the block

so, let's suppose x be the weight of the block

so, x/2 will be the weight of its half

putting in give

x/2 + 6 = x

or, x - x/2 =6

so, x/2 = 6

so, x = 6×2 = 12 kg

So weight of the block will be 12 kg
