Question

One -third of a number plus 1/2 of the number is 5. Find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3+x/2=5

x/3+x=5*2

x+x=10*3

2x=30

x=30/2

x=15

Answer 2

Answer:

let the no be x

now,

x/3+1/2=5

2x+3/6=5

2x+3=5*6

2x+3=30

2x=30-3

2x=27

x=27/2

x=13.5

so, the value of x =13.5

hence, the no is 13.5
