If the fish weighs 10lbs, then its weight is just 10lbs.

Let the weight of the fish be F.
F is 10 pounds plus half of its weight.
F = 10 + F/2
F - F/2 = 10
F/2 = 10
F = 20
The weight of the fish is 20 pounds.
This makes sense because if the whole weight is half the weight plus some number, that number is the other half.

Weight = 10 + 0.5 weight
w = 10 + 0.5w
w - 0.5 w = 10
0.5w =10
w = 20
The fish weighs 20 pounds.

Meh. This continuously works. In steps 3-5, ur multiplying your first 3 digits by making use of 20000 and which contain 250. In step 8, ur subtracting 250, so u can cancel those out. by making use of which contain ur very final 4 digits 2 cases, ur making it so as that its 2 cases your telephone decision. purely divide by making use of two and yeah, thats all I ought to declare.
