Question

3. Manjula thinks a number and subtracts from it. She multiplies the result by 6. The
result now obtained is 2 less than twice the same number she thought of. What is the
number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a number thought by Manjula be x

According to the statement ,

(x−7/3)×6=2x−2

6x−14=2x−2

On further calculation , we get ,

6x−2x=−2+14

4x=12

x=

4

12

We get,

x=3

Therefore , the required number is 3

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Q= (x-7/3) X 6=2x-2

6x-14=2x-2

6x-2x= -2+14

4x=12

x=12/4

x=3
