Question

Answer 1

Hii....☺

Here is your answer....✨✨✨✨

=================================

♦ Let the number be "x"

According to question we have,

=> 1/3 × x = 2/7 × x + 1

=> x/3 - 2x/7 = 1

=> 7x - 6x/ 21 = 1

=> x / 21 = 1

=> x = 21.

==================================

Hence, the number is 21.

=================================

Hope this helps you...☺

Thanks...☺

Answer 2

Let's assume that the number be "a"
now according to the question
(a/3) = (2a/7) + 1
(a/3) - (2a/7) = 1
(7a - 6a)/ 21 = 1
a / 21 = 1
a = 21.
