answer fast​

Answer 1

• As per data given in the question,
• Let the number be $x.$

       According to the given condition,

       $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=2+4\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=6$

• In cross multiplying, we get,

       $\Rightarrow x=3\times6\\\Rightarrow x=18.$

      Hence, the number will be $18.$

Answer 2

Given:

Let the number be x.

According to the given condition, we have to write it as

$\frac{x}{3} =2+4$

$\frac{x}{3}=6$

Now cross multiplying we get

x=6 × 3

x= 18

Hence the number is 18
