Three-fourths of a number increased by one-half

= 3/4 x + 1/2

So three-fourths of a number increased by one-half is equal to fourteen:

3/4 x + 1/2 = 14

Multiply both sides by 4

3x + 2 = 56

Subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 54

Divide both sides by 3

x = 18

Answer: The number is 18

1. (5+23)+65 = (5+65)+23 = 70+23 = 93 (D)
2. -(4x-7) = -4X+7 (C)
3. 2(6X+9) = 12X+18 (B)
4. 5(X-3) = 35
X-3 = 35/5
X-3 = 7
SO X= 7+3 = 10

THEN NO
