45 points 35 is less than half a number equals 14. what is the number?

Let N be the number we seek. Let's translate the words into math.

35 less than                           -35

half a number                       1/2 N

equals    14                               = 14

Now we put it together with a plus sign between the first two parts. No sign is needed between the second and third, as an equals sign is there.

-35 + 1/2 N = 14

We clear fractions at this point and multiply the whole equation by 2. We choose 2 because it's the lowest common denominator of 1, 2, and 1.

-70 + N = 28

N = 98               < add 70 to both sides.

Thus the mystery number is 98.

step-by-step explanation:

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.
