Answer :
Answer:
the number is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be n
multiply n by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , gives the product [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n
add 5 to the product, gives [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n + 5
The result is 6 , that is
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n + 5 = 6 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
n = 2
The number thought of is 2
