Question

5 added to thrice a number gives 23/4. The number is _____

Answer 1

Answer:

First, we have to form an equation from the word problem

So, A.S.P (as per question), Let the unknown number be x

So, 3x + 5 = $\frac{23}{4}$

So now that we have formed the equation, we can now find the value of x.

⇒ 3x + 5 = $\frac{23}{4}$

⇒ x + 5 = $\frac{23}{4}$*3

⇒ x + 5 = $\frac{69}{4}$

⇒ x + 5 = 17.25

⇒ x = 17.25 - 5

⇒ x = 12.25

∴ 5 added to thrice of 12.25 gives 23/4

Thnx and have a nice day!
