Question

I think of a number,halve it and subtract 1. The answer is 5.What is my number?​

Answer 1

$\huge \mid{ \underline{ \overline{ \underline{\overline \pink{\bold{ \: \: Aɴsᴡᴇʀ \: \: } }}} }}\mid$

let the number be x

then, according to the question

$\frac{x}{2} - 1 = 5 \\ \\ \implies \frac{x}{2} = 5 + 1 \\ \\ \implies x = 6 \times 2 \\ \\ \implies \boxed{x = 12} \: \:$

so, your number is 12

Answer 2

Answer:

12 is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x.

Now, acc. to ques, x/2 - 1 = 5

=> x/2 = 5 + 1 => 6

∴ x = 6*2 => 12 is the number you are thinking of.
