Question

if you subtract 5 from half of a number you get 20 what is the number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

then,

x/2 - 5 = 20

x/2 = 20 + 5 = 25

x = 25*2 = 50

Therefore the number = 50

Answer 2

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

just reverse the questions

In reverse,

+ becomes -

- becomes +

x becomes ÷

÷ becomes x

Therefore, subtract 5 becomes as add 5.

We got a clue that the answer of 5 subtracted from a half of a number is 20.

so take the reverse of subtract 5 that is add 5 to 20.

So, 20 + 5 = 25

Half means division

We know that x ÷ 2 = the half of x.

So the reverse of ÷ = x.

÷ 2 becomes x 2.

so 25 x 2 = 50.

Just check is it correct or not.

Half of 50 = 25

25 - 5 = 20!!!!!

Hope it's helpful to you.
