take the number as x
x+x+x+5=50
3x+5=50
3x=50-5
3x=45
x=45/3=15
so,the number is 15
x+x+x+5=50
3x+5=50
3x=50-5
3x=45
x=45/3=15
so,the number is 15

Answer:
The required number is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the required number be x
The number is tripled : 3x
The result after tripling the number is 50 if we increased the result by 5
⇒ The original result which we get after the number is tripled = 50 - 5 = 45
⇒ 3x = 45
⇒ x = 15
Hence, The required number is 15
