Answer 1

Answer:

• 20 is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• A number decreased by 2.
• Then divided by 3 and has become 6.

To find :

• What is the number ?

Solution :

Let the number be x.

∅ x is decreased by 2.

• x - 2

∅ x is divided by 3.

• (x - 2)/3

∅ x is equal to 6.

• (x - 2)/3 = 6

⇒ x - 2 = 18

⇒ x = 18 + 2

⇒ x = 20

∴ The number is 20.

Verification :

⇒ (x - 2)/3 = 6

⇒ (20 - 2)/3 = 6

⇒ 18/3 = 6

⇒ 6 = 6

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S
