- If 7 is subtracted from half of a number, the result is 14.
- Let the number be x.
- Therefore, by the problem
- [tex] \frac{x}{2} - 7 = 14 \\ = > \frac{x}{2} = 14 + 7 \\ = > \frac{x}{2} = 21 \\ = > x = 21 \times 2 \\ = > x = 42[/tex]
Answer:
The number is 42.
Hope you could get an idea from here.
