​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1x/3 + 2 = 3 ; x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

1x/3 + 2 = 3

x/3 = 3 - 2

x/3 = 1

x = 1 × 3

x = 3

Answer 2

The correct answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One third of a number plus 2 is 3.

To find:

The value of the number.

Solution:

Let the required number be x.

∴

$\begin{align} & \left( \frac{1}{3}\times x \right)+2=3 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}\times x=3-2=1 \\ & \Rightarrow x=1\times 3 \\ & \Rightarrow \left( x=3 \right) \\ \end{align}$

So, the number will be equal to 3.
