Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x

x/3+x/5=32

8x/15=32

x=32*15/8

x=60

b)

x-17=54

x=54+17

x=71

Answer 2

Answer will be

a). x + x

3 5 = 32 (Solving this equation)

5x + 3x

15 = 32 (Took the L.C.M)

8x

15 = 32

8x = 15 ×32

8x = 480

x = 480

8

x = 60

b). x +17 = 54

x = 54- 17

x = 37
