Question

5 added to two times of a number make 3 times of a number what is the number

Answer 1

Answer:

The number = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x.

Given,

2 times the no.= 2x

5 added = 2x + 5

result = 3x ( 3 times the no.)

⇒ 2x + 5 = 3x

2x + 5 = 3x

5 = 3x - 2x

5 = x

⇒ x = 5

CHECK:

Put x = 5

2(5) + 5 = 3(5)

10 + 5 = 15

15 = 15

∴ The number = 5.
