Answer 1

Hey mate, your answer is

Let the number be x
So, if the number is tripled, new number is 3x
If result is increased by 5, we get 50
So, 3x + 5 = 50

3x = 45
x = 15

So the number is 15.

Answer 2

$\underline{Question}$ :- if a no. is tripled and the result is increased by five ,we get 50. Find the number.


$\underline \mathfrak {Answer}}$ :-


Let the number be x

If the number is tripled, the number becomes 3 × x = 3x

If uncreased by 5, the number becomes 3x + 5

Given, result is 50



According to the question,

3x + 5 = 50

3x = 50 - 5

3x = 45

x = $\dfrac{45}{3}$

x = 15



$\therefore{}$ The number is 15
