Question

One half of a number subtracted from its thrice give 2500find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the number = x

One half of the number = x / 2

Thrice the number = 3x

According to the problem given ,

3x - x / 2 = 2500

( 6x - x ) / 2 = 2500

5x/2 = 2500

x = ( 2500 × 2 ) / 5

x = 500 × 2

x = 1000

Therefore ,

Required number = x = 1000

Answer 2

hope this helps you

Let the number be x

By condition,

3x - x/2 = 2500

(6x - x)/2 = 2500

5x/2 = 2500

5x = 5000

x = 1000

Therefore the number is 1000
