Write down equations to solve the following word problems.

Half of a number, plus a fifth of two less than the number ,is four less than the number .What is the number

The number is 12

Given that,

Half of a number, plus a fifth of two less than the number ,is four less than the number

Let us write the above statement mathematically,

half of number + fifth of two less than the number = four less than number

Let "n" be the number

Therefore,

half of "n" + fifth of two less than "n" = number - 4

Simplify the above expression and solve for "n"

Thus the number is 12

it is x equals 3   plese mark me really need it
