Question

find the number when subtracted from it one-third gives 42

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider the number as x.

Therfore,

the statement of the formula we can write

x-$\frac{1}{3}$x = 42

-> $\frac{3x-x}{3}$ = 42

-> $\frac{2x}{3}$ =42

-> 2x = 126

so,

-> x = 126/2

x= 63 (ANS)
