Question

Half of a number is 3more than one sixth of the same number. what is the number

Answer 1

Let the number be x

NOW,

$\frac{ x }{2} = \frac{x}{6} + 3 \\ \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{6} = 3 \\ \frac{3x - x}{6} = 3 \\ \frac{2x}{6} = 3 \\ 2x = 3 \times 6 \\ x = \frac{18}{2} \\ x = 9$
The number will be 9
