Question

manjula thinks a number and subtracts7/3 from it .she multiplies the result by 6 the result obtained is 2 less than twice number the same number she thought of.what is the number

Answer 1

Here is your answer.

Let the number she thought be x.

Now, As per the question,

(x-7/3) * 6 = 2x - 2

=> (x-7/3) = 6(2x-2)

=> (3x-7)/3 = 12x-12

=> 3x-7 = 36x -36

=> 3x-36x = 7-36

=> 33x = 29

=> x = 29/33.

Thus, Required answer will be 29/33.

Answer 2

Solution:

Let a number thought by Manjula be x

According to the statement,

(x – 7 / 3) × 6 = 2x – 2

6x – 14 = 2x – 2

On further calculation, we get,

6x – 2x = - 2 + 14

4x = 12

x = 12 / 4

We get,

x = 3

Therefore, the required number is 3
