Question

if a number is trippled it gives the same result as when 28 is added to it find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the required number be ' x '

given that if a number is tripled , then it gives the same result as when 28 is added to it .

according to first statement :

when the number is tripled ,

then the number formed = 3 x

according to second statement :

when 28 is added to the number

then the obtained number = x + 28

since,

the both statements given the same result .then

Find the number :

------------------------

3 x = x + 28

3 x - x = 28 => 2 x = 28 => x = 14

therefore , the required number is 14 .

verify : when x = 14

---------

3 x = x + 28

3 × 14 = 14 + 28

42 = 42

L.H.S = R.H.S

hence, the required number is 14.
