Question

Five added to one third of a number gives twice
the number. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. Be x

1x/3 + 5 = 2x

1x/3 - 2x = -5

By making the denominator same

1x - 6x / 3 = -5

-5x/3 = -5

-5x = -5 * 3

-5x = -15

x = -15/-5

Minus will be cut

x = 3

So the answer is 3

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer :

Let the number be z.

• Now our equation becomes according to the statement of question -

5 × z/3 = 2z.

Now, by solving the equation we'll get the number -

5 × z/3 = 2z

→ 15 + z = 6z

By Transposing -

5z = 15

→ z = 15/3

→ z = 3

Therefore, the number is 3.
