Question

One third of a number is two kore than one fourth of its successor find the number Hint 1/3x=1/4(x+1)+2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x=1/4(x+1)+2

1/3x=1/4x+1/4+2

1/3x-1/4x=1/4+2

1/12x=9/2

x=9/2÷1/12

x=9/2×12

x=9×6=54

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{?3x} = \frac{1}{?4} (x + 1) + 2 \\ = \frac{1}{3x} = \frac{1}{4x} + \frac{1}{4} + 2 \\ = \frac{1}{3x} = \frac{1 + 1}{16x} + 2 \\ = \frac{1}{3}x = \frac{2}{16} x + 2 \\ 2 = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{2}{16} x \\ 2 = \frac{16 + 6 }{48} x \\ 2 = \frac{22}{48 } x \\ 2 \times 48 = 22x \\ 96 = 22x \\x = 96 \div 22 = 4.3$
