Question

if 3/5th of a number is 4 more than 1/2 the number,find the number; pls answer clearly​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 40.

Explanation:

Let's say,

⅗ of x is 4 more than ½ of x

Equation forms :

→ (⅗ • x) - (½ • x) = 4

Solving for x :

→ 3x/5 - x/2 = 4

→ 6x - 5x/10 = 4

→ x/10 = 4

→ x = 10*4

→ x = 40.

∴ The value of ‘x’ is 40.

Verification :

→ (⅗ of 40) - (½ of 40) = 4

→ (3*8) - 20 = 4

→ 24 - 20 = 4

→ 4 = 4

Hence, verified ✓✓
