Answer 2

Given,

One third of a number is subtracted from half of it,then the result is 1.

Let the number be 'x'.

One of the number is 1/3 of x or x/3.

Half of the number is 1/2 of x or x/2.

According to the question,

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

==>3x-2x/6 = 1

==>x/6 = 1

==>x = 6

==>x = 6

Therefore the number is -6.

Verification:

Substitute the value of x in x/3-x/2 = 1

==>6/2-6/3 = 1

==>18-12/6 = 1

==>6/6 = 1

==>1 = 1

L.H.S = R.H.S
