Question
Four added to twice a number yields $\frac{26}{5}$. Find the fraction.
✓
Answer
Let the required fraction $= x$ then $2\text{x}+4=\frac{26}{5}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=\frac{26}{5}-4$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=\frac{26-20}{5}=\frac{6}{5}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{6}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore$ Required fractiom $=\frac{3}{5}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=\frac{26}{5}-4$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=\frac{26-20}{5}=\frac{6}{5}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{6}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore$ Required fractiom $=\frac{3}{5}$
