✪ Question ✪

One third of a number increased by 5 is equal to its half part decressed by 5. Find the number.

✪ Given ✪

One third of the number increased by 5 is equal to its half part decressed by 5.

✪ To find ✪

The number.

✪ Solution ✪

Let the number be x.

According to condition,

x/3+5 = x/2-5

↝ (x+15)/3 = (x-10)/2

↝ 2(x+15) = 3(x-10)

↝ 2x+30 = 3x-30

↝ 2x-3x = -30-30

↝ -x = -60

↝ x = 60

✪ Hence ✪

☞ x = 60

✪ Therefore ✪

The number is 60.

-------------------------------------------------------------

✪ Verification ✪

x/3+5 = x/2-5

↝ 60/3+5 = 60/2 -5

↝ 20+5 = 30-5

↝ 25 = 25

So, L.H.S = R.H.S.

Hence, verified.
