Mathematics
1 answer:
natka813 [3]3 years ago

Answer:

The number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To attempt this question, we need to represent the number with (x).

Let the number be x

Five more than the number is:

5 + x

Seven-halves means 1/2 × 7 = 7/2

Mathematically, the question is saying:

5 + x = 7/2 × x

5 + x = 7x/2

Cross multiply;

2(5 + x) = 7x

10 + 2x = 7x

We collect like terms;

10 = 7x - 2x

10 = 5x

x = 10/5

x = 2

The number represented by x is 2
