Question 983641
Hi!
Let the number be "x"
Three times the number=3x
Half of the number = x/2.
From the first sentence,
 The difference between three times a nember and half of the number is 60,
i.e,
 3x-(x/2)=60
multiply out by 2
6x-x=120
5x=120
divide bothsides by 5
5x/5=120/5
x=24
The number is 24
HOPE THIS HELPS;...
