$\frac{1}{2}$
it becomes 6.find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a number be x.

2 is subtracted from the number = x-2

According to the problem given,

(x-2)×1/2= 6

=> x-2 = 2× 6

=> x-2 = 12

=> x = 12 + 2

=> x = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

$x - 2 = x \: \: \: \: \\ = > x \frac{1}{2} = 6 \\ = \geqslant x - 20 + x = 6 \\ = \leqslant x - 2 + x = 6x2 = 12 \\ = \geqslant x - 2 + x = 12 \\ = \leqslant x - 2 = 12 \\ x = 12 + 2 \\ = \leqslant x = 14 \geqslant =$
