Can anyone help me

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer for the question is 3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

One third of a number subtracted from twice the number is 5.

To find :-

Find the number ?

Solution :-

Let the required number be X

One third of the number

=(1/3) of X

= (1/3)×X

=(1×X)/3

= X/3

Twice the number

=2×X

= 2X

On subtracting one third of a number from twice the number

= (2X) -(X/3)

= [(2X×3)-X]/3

= (6X-X)/3

= 5X/3

According to the given problem

One third of a number subtracted from twice the number is 5.

=> 5X/3 = 5

=> 5X = 5×3

=> 5X = 15

=> X = 15/5

=> X = 3

Therefore, X = 3

Answer:-

The required number for the given problem is 3

Check :-

The number = 3

one third of 3 = (1/3)×3 = 3/3 = 1

Twice the number = 2×3 = 6

On subtracting 1 from 6 = 6-1 = 5
