Answer 1

Answer :-

• Number => 9

Given :-

• Five less than 3 times a number is 4 more than two times the number.

To Find :-

• The number.

Step By Step Explanation :-

It is given that five less than 3 times a number is 4 more than two times the number.

Let us consider the number be x.

Then equation will be ⤵

$\boxed{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{3x - 5 = 4 + 2x}}}}$

Now let us find the value of x.

$\implies\sf3x - 5 = 4 + 2x \\ \\ \implies\sf3x - 2x = 4 + 5 \\ \\ \implies\bf \: x = 9$

Therefore the number is 9.

Verification :-

By substituting the value of x.

L. H. S. ⤵

=> 3 × 9 - 5

=> 27 - 5

=> 22

R. H. S. ⤵

=> 4 + 2 × 9

=> 4 + 18

=> 22

L. H. S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.
