Question

6 less than thrice a number is equal to 6 more than the number itself find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,the required number be x

Now,

Thrice of x = 3x

Given,

6 less than thrice of x=3x-6

is equal to ,

6 more than x = x+6

So,

According to the question,

3x-6=x+6

or,3x-6-6=x+6-6 (subtracting 6 or,3x-12=x from both sides)

or,3x-x-12=x-x(subtracting x from or,2x-12=0 both sides)

or,2x=12

or,x=12/2

or,x=6

Hence, 6 is the required number.
