Question

rewrite the statement in the form of equation (a) three fifth of x when added to 7 becomes 2. (b) thrice of a number is twice the sum of the number

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)   $\frac{3}{5} *x+7=2$

(b)  $3x = 2(x+x)$  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : (a) Three fifth of $x$ when added to $7$ becomes $2$.

          (b) Thrice of a number is twice the sum of the number.

To find : Rewrite the statement in the form of equation.

Solution :

(a) It is given that the first condition is three fifth of $x$ when added to $7$ becomes $2$.

        Three fifth of $x$ means $\frac{3}{5} *x$

Now, the equation becomes,

           $\frac{3}{5} *x+7=2$

 (b) Second condition is, 'Thrice of a number is twice the sum of the number.'

     Let, the number be $x$.

The equation becomes,  

           $3x = 2(x+x)$
