Let's assume the number is x. Half of the number is (1/2)x and a fifth of two less than the number is (1/5)(x-2). So, the equation can be written as (1/2)x + (1/5)(x-2) = x - 4. Solving this equation, we find that the number x is 20.

Let the number be x and a fifth of 2 is 2/5:-

So if you mean: x/2 +2/5 -x = x -4 then the value of x works out as 44/15
