Question

half of number is 4 less than 3/5 of a number find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 x= 1/2 x+4

3/5 x - 1/2 x= 4

Now solve the fractional expression

3/5 - 1/2 lcm of 5,2= 10

3×2 - 1×5/ 10= 6-5/10

= 1/10

1/10 x= 4

Multiply both sides with 10 to remove denominator

10×1/10 x= 4×10

1x=40

x= 40/1

x= 40

Therefore, the number is 40
