Question

. If you subtract 5 from half of a number,
the result is 20. What is the number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

$Hence, half of x = \frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \: \frac{x}{2} - 5 = 20 \\\frac{x}{2} = 20 + 5 \\ \frac{x}{2} = 25 \\ x = 25 \times 2 \\ x = 50. \\ thus \: the \: required \: no. \: is \: 50.$
