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
Okay so to figure out this problem you need to say 5/1 times 3/4 which equals 15/4 We know that we cant have an improper fraction so we divide this and it equals 3
