Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then half the number is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n , so

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n + 69 = 74 ( subtract 69 from both sides )

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] n = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

n = 10

Thus the number is 10

1/2 x= 74 - 69
1/2 x = 5
x = 2*5
x= 10
