Question

twice a number is 24 greater than it's half find the number

Answer 1

Let the number be x.
twice the number = 2x
​
According to question,
2x= 24 + x/2
2x- x/2 = 24
3x/2 = 24 ( by making the denominator same 2x*2/1*2 - x/2 = 3x/2)
x = 24 * 2/3
x = 16

Answer 2

let the number be x

according to question ,

=> 2x -x/2 = 24

=> (4x-x)/2 = 24

=> 3x/2 = 24

=> x = 24×2/3

=> x = 48/3 = 16


the number is 16

hope this helps
