Question

Half
a number added
to the number gives 144
what is the number​

Answer 1

`the \: number \: is \: 96`

Explanation:

`let \: the \: number \: be \: = \: x`

`(x)/(2) + x = 144`

`2( (x)/(2) ) + 2(x) = 2(144)`

`x + 2x = 288`

`3x = 288`

`(3x)/(3) = (288)/(3)`

`x = 96`

Answer 2

(x/3) + x =144

4x = 144 *3

x = (144/4) *3

x=36*3

x=108
The number is 108 :)
