Question

Six time of a number is same as three times of a number obtained by adding 12 to the number. Find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Six time of a number is same as three times of a number obtained by adding 12 to the number.

To find :-

Find the number?

Solution :-

Let the required number be X

Six times the number = 6×X = 6X

On adding 12 to the number = X+12

Three times to (X+12) = 3(X+12)

=> (3×X)+(3×12)

=> 3X+36

Now,

Given that

Six time of a number is same as three times of a number obtained by adding 12 to the number.

=> 6X = 3X + 36

=> 6X - 3X = 36

=> 3X = 36

=> X = 36/3

=> X = 12

Therefore, X = 12

Answer :-

The required number for the given problem is 12

Check:-

The number = 12

Six times the number = 6×12 = 72----(1)

On adding 12 to the number = 12+12 = 24

Three times to 24 = 3×24 = 72 -----(2)

From (1)&(2)

Six time of a number is same as three times of a number obtained by adding 12 to the number.
