Question

a number divided by 3 and decreased by 5 is 15​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the no be X

X/3-5=15

3(15+5)=X

therefore 3×20=60

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the required number.

        Given data:- $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}-5=15$

        To find:- Required number.

•   Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step 2:-then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

       By using the transposition method. we get,

        Let the required number be $x.$

        According to the given condition,

            $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}-5=15\\\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=15+5\\\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=20\\\Rightarrow x=20\times3\\\Rightarrow x=60.$

       Hence, the value will be $60.$
