Question

Half a numbe increased by 10 is 12 find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X.

Half of number will be X/2

On increasing 10 we get, (X/2) +10———-(i)

Which is equal to 12.

Hence,

(X/2) + 10=12

(X/2)=12–10

X/2 = 2

X=2×2

X=4

Answer 2

Remember that “of” means multiplication, so from your question we infer the following equation:

(1/2)x + 10 = 12

First, subtract 10 from both sides:

(1/2)x = 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

x = 4

Now substitute for x in the original equation to prove this:

(1/2)x + 10 = 12

x = 4

(1/2)4 + 10 = 12

4/2 + 10 = 12

2 + 10 = 12

12 = 12

So the number, x, is 4.

.......

so the answer is 4
