Question

10 added to thrice a whole number gives 46 find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the whole no. be x... then,

thrice of x will be... 3x

10+3x=46

3x=46-10

3x=36

x=36/3

x=12

ANSWER

Answer 2

Solution:

Let the number = x

ATQ:-

3x + 10 = 46

⟹ 3x = 46 - 10

⟹ 3x = 36

⟹ x = ${\frac{36}{3}}$

⟹ x = 12

Thus, number = 12

Verification:-

3x + 10 = 46

⟹ 3(12) + 10 = 46

⟹ 36 + 10 = 46

⟹ 46 = 46

⟹ L.H.S = R.H.S

Thus, verified.
