Answer 2

Answer :

The required number is 6.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the required number be x.

Then, one third of x number = x / 3

According to the question ;

( x / 3 ) + x = 8

⇒ x + 3x / 3 = 8

⇒ 4x = 8 * 3

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 24 / 4

⇒ x = 6

Hence, the required answer is 6.

Let's check the solution :

Putting the value of x, we get ;

x / 3 + x = 8

⇒ 6 / 3 + 6 = 8

⇒ 2 + 6 = 8

⇒ 8 = 8

∴ LHS = RHS

Hence, the value of x is 6.
