Question

The sum of half of a number and 3 is 16.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x.

so,

$\frac{x}{2} + 3 = 16$

$\frac{x}{2 } = 16 - 3$

$\frac{x}{2} = 13$

$x = \frac{13}{2}$

x=6.5

hence the number is 6.5

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be x.

$\frac{x}{2} + 3 = 16$

$\frac{x}{2} = 16 - 3$

$\frac{x}{2} = 13$

$x = 13 \times 2$

$x = 26$

the number is 26.
