Question

If I add 5 to 1/3 of a number, the result is 1/2 of the number. What is the number?


I think the number is 20 because 1/3 = 5/15 so 5. Then 5+5 = 10. 20÷2=10. 20 is the answer but I want you to check it

Answer 2

Answer:

$5 + x \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{15 + x}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ 30 + 2x = 3 \\ \\ 2x = 27 \\ \\ x = 13.5$
