Question

find a number such that when 3/4 of it is added to 3½the sum is the same as when 2/3 of it is subtracted from 6½. PLEASE HELP​

Answer 1

- 120

Explanation:

call x is the number you want to find

1. (3/4 )x + 3
   `(1)/(2)` = (2/3)x - 6
   `(1)/(2)`
2. (3/4)x + (7/2) = (2/3)x - (13/2)
3. (3/4)x - (2/3)x = - (13 /2) - (7/2)
4. (1/12)x = -10
5. x = -10 / (1/12) = -120
