Question

18. If you divide the difference of twice
number and 7. by 3, and the difference
number and 3 by 2, you will get the same
number. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 23 is that number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

Now from the first statement

$\frac{2x-7}{3}$ ----eq(1)

Now from the second statement

$\frac{x-3}{2}$ -----eq(2)

Equating eq 1 and 2

$\frac{2x-7}{3}$ = $\frac{x-3}{2}$

2(2x-7) = 3(x-3)

4x-14 = 3x -9

x = 9+14

x = 23

Hence, the desired number is 23
