When 25 is added to a number and the result is halved, the answer is 3 times the original number. If let the number is X, make an equation to find X.
(x+25)/2 = 3 x
To find the value of X, we can create an equation based on the given information.
According to the problem, when 25 is added to the number (X), and the result is halved, it is equal to 3 times the original number (X).
Let's break this down step by step:
1. "When 25 is added to the number (X)" can be expressed as (X + 25).
2. "the result is halved" can be expressed as ((X + 25) / 2).
3. "it is equal to 3 times the original number (X)" can be expressed as 3X.
Putting it all together, the equation becomes:
(X + 25) / 2 = 3X
This equation represents the relationship between X and the given conditions. To find the value of X, we can solve this equation.
