Question

Make an equation and solve it to find the answer a) One third of a number added to one-fifth of gives 32.find the number. b) A number increased by 17 becomes 54.Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the answer to your question.

Answer 2

Let us suppose the number is x.

Now, framing LHS : (x/3) + 16 ________ (1)

Framing RHS : 3x _______ (2)

Therefore, ATP,

(x/3) + 16 = 3x

=> x + 48 = 9x ________ (Multiplying both sides by 3)

=> 9x - x = 48

=> 8x = 48

=> x = 6 _______ (Dividing both sides by 8)

Therefore, the required no. is 6 _______ (Ans: )

Cross-check : LHS -> (6/3) + 16 = 18

RHS -> 3*6 = 18

Therefore, LHS = RHS _______ (Hence proved )
