Use the equasion: 1/2x = 3x + 10 to get the answer of negative 4.
(x/2) = (3x - 10) x = 6x - 20 5x = 20 x = 4 Check this solution against the given statement: If the number is 4, then Half = 2, Triple = 12, and by golly, 2 is ten less than 12.
the majority is the number more than half the total number of a given group.
Then the whole number is negative.
No. A half is a fraction, it is more than zero but it is not a whole number.

Let the number you are looking for be x, than 3x+8 is the algebraic expression for 8 more than triple a number.
x3+1
A double digit number, triple digit number........
(x/2) = (3x - 10) x = 6x - 20 5x = 20 x = 4 Check this solution against the given statement: If the number is 4, then Half = 2, Triple = 12, and by golly, 2 is ten less than 12.
the majority is the number more than half the total number of a given group.
When its numerator (top number) is more than half its denominator (bottom number).
Then the whole number is negative.
No. A half is a fraction, it is more than zero but it is not a whole number.
Number = 14

Twelve more than half of 16 is twenty.Since 20 minus 12 is 8, and half of 16 is 8, then 12 more than half of 16 is 20.
