Question

One-half of a number increased by ten is fourteen, what is the number?​

Answer 1

The unknown number is 8

Explanation:

Writing this symbolically, we get (n/2) + 10 = 14.

Solve this for (n/2) by subtracting 10 from both sides:

(n/2) = 4

Finally, multiply both sides by 2 to obtain n = 8
