Question

One third of a number exceeds its one-fifth by 6. find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no. = x

Step-by-step explanation:

so according to ques.

1/3x = 1/5x -6

taking LCM

1/3x = x-30/5

5x/3= x-30

5x= 3x-90

2x=-90

x= -45

So the no. is -45

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So... 1/3x + 6 = 1/5x

or.. 1/3x - 1/5x = -6

or..5x-3x/15xsq= -6

or...2x/15xsq= -6

or... 2/15x= -6

or... 2= 15x × -6

or.. 2= -90x

or...2/-90= x

or... -1/45= x

therefore.....in my opinion the ans is -1/45
