Question

twice a number added to half of itself
equal to 24 find the number

the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x. then, twice of this number = 2x and half of this number

According to the question,

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get 4x + x = 48

⇒ 5x = 48

⇒

[Dividing both sides by 5]

⇒

⇒ x = 9.6

Hence, the required number is 9.6.....

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the no. be x

2x/1 + x/2 = 24

by talking the L.C.M of 1 and 2 we get

4x + x = 24×2

5x = 48

x = 48/5

x = 9.6
