The Newton-like approximating sequence is given by $$x_{n+1}=x_{n}-A(x_{n})^{-1}F(x_{n}) \quad (n>0).$$ Here $ A(x)\in\mathcal{L(X,Y)}, (x\in\mathcal{D}),\quad \mathcal{L(X,Y)}$ being the space of linear bounded operators from $\mathcal{X}$ to $\mathcal{Y}, $ and $ A(x)$ an approximation to the Fréchet-derivative. A theorem proves the semilocal convergence of the sequence. The method and the results are then extended to the equation $F(x)+G(x)=0$ where $G:\mathcal{D}\rightarrow\mathcal{Y}$ and the Newton-like method generating the corresponding sequence approximating the exact solution reads as follows $$x_{n+1}=x_{n}-A(x_{n})^{-1}(F(x_{n})+G(x_{n})) \quad (n\geq 0).$$ The conditions under which the convergence and the error estimates take place are better than the known ones. Examples are presented. rv: Erwin Schechter (Moers)
