Question

3 more than one-half of a number is 10. What is the number?

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

You solve this problem by subtracting 3 from 10 because you have to solve it inversely. After doing this you get 7. Since that is 1/2 a number the number is 14

Answer 2

14

Explanation:

Let's call the number x.

`(x)/(2)+3=10`

Subtract 3 from both sides:

`(x)/(2)=7`

Multiply both sides by 2:

`x=14`
