Answer 2

Given: Five less than 3 times a number is 46.

To find: We have to find the number.

Solution:

Let the number is x.

Three times of the number will be three times of x i.e. 3x

Five less than three times of the number is 5 less than 3x.

i.e. 3x-5

Now five less than 3 times a number is 46 so we can say 3x-5 will be equal to 46.

3x-5=46

3x=51

x=51/3

x=17

So, the number is 17.
