Hi. Your question is as follows:-If one tenth of a number is added to 2 the results is half of the number find the number

Let the number be X.

According to the problem

X/10 + 2 = x/2

Then, we will get the answer as,

(2x + 20)/10 = x/2

We get,

2x + 20 = 5x (transposing 10 to the other side and multiplying it by x/2)

Hence, it will be,

-5x + 2x = -20

= -3x = -20

x = 20/3 = 6.66

Hope this helps you.
