Question

Four added to twice a number yields $\frac{26}{5},$ Find the fraction.

Answer 1

Let the required fraction be $x$

According to the question,

$\Rightarrow$ $4+2x=\frac{26}{5}$

$\Rightarrow$ $20+10x=26$

$\Rightarrow$ $10x=26-20$

$\Rightarrow$ $10x=6$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{6}{10}$

$\therefore$ $x=\frac{3}{5}$

$\therefore$ The required fraction is $\frac{3}{5}$.
