Question

if you subtract 5 from a number and multiple the result by 3 you get 3 what is the number ​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Let the Number be x

When we Subtract 5 from x & Multiply it by 3, we get (x - 5) * 3

The Result is Equal to 3

Therefore, the Equation Formed here is, (x - 5) * 3 = 3

Solving out the Given Equation,

=> (x - 5) * 3 = 3

=> 3x - 15 = 3

=> 3x = 3 + 15 = 18

=> x = 18/3 = 6

x = 6

VERIFICATION:

Substituting x = 6 in the Equation, we get -

=> (6 - 5) * 3 = 3

=> 18 - 15 = 3

3 = 3

Therefore, It is Verified that LHS is Equal to RHS.....
