One-half of a number decreased by two-thirds is two less than one-fifth of the number. Find the number.

n = -40/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number

(1/2)n - 2/3 = (1/5)n - 2

Multiply both sides by 30, which will get rid of the fractions.

15n  - 20 = 6n - 60

9n = -40

n= -40/9

Hope this helps.

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
