Iam thinking of a number. if you multiply my number by 5, add -12 to the product, and then take 1/2 of the sum, the result is 14. find my number.

14x2=28

28+12=40

40/5=8

(2n - 12)/2 = 14

Five times the number subtracted by 12, divided by 2 is equivalent to 14.

Multiply both sides by 2:

2n - 12 = 28

Add 12 to both sides:

2n = 40

n = 20

The number is 20

$360 on game console

$480 on tv

$1440 before spending money

x - 1/3x - 1/4x = $600

12/12x - 4/12x - 3/12x = $600

5/12x = $600

x = (12/5)($600)

x = $1440

Game Console = (1/4)(1440) = $360

Hope this helped!
