Question

If 16 is added to half of a number the result is 56 express the data in linear equation

Answer 1

Answer:

According to question,

let the number be = x

⇔

∴ 16 + x/2 = 56      ↔ (This is the data in linear equation)

Solving this we get,

→32 + x = 56 × 2

→32 + x = 112

→x = 112-32

→x = 80

Answer : x = 80

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

16+x/2=56

For solving 16+x/2 we should cross multipy it like ( 16×2+x×1)/2

=(32+x)/2 =56

32+x =56×2(2 goes to left side and becomes opposite sign that is ×)

32+x=112

x=112-32(32goes to left side and becomes opposite sign that is-)

x=80
