Question

If 1/3 is subtracted from a number and the difference is multiplied by 3 , the result is 5 . The number is

Answer 1

Answer:

the number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-1/3)3 = 5

3x-3/3=5

3x-1= 5

3x. = 5+1

3x = 6

X = 6/3

X = 2

Therefore, the number is 2

Answer 2

Answer:-

2

Explanation:-

First,it’s said that subtract 1/3 from a number

Let the number be “x”

$x-\dfrac{1}{3}$

Afterthat,it’s said that the difference is multiplied by 3 and the result we get is 5.

So,

$\implies \bigg(x-\dfrac{1}{3}\bigg)\times 3=5$

$\implies \bigg(\dfrac{x\times3 -1\times1}{3}\bigg)\times 3=5$

$\implies \bigg(\dfrac{3x-1}{3}\bigg)\times 3=5$

$\implies \dfrac{3x-1}{3}\times 3=5$

Both 3 will be get cancelled

$\implies 3x-1=5$

$\implies 3x=5+1$

$\implies x=\dfrac{6}{3}$

$\implies x=2$

∴ Number is 2
