Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• Susana thinks of a number and substract 5/3 from it

• She multiplies the result by 9

• The result now obtained is 6 times the same number

To find:

• The number

Solution:

Let,

The number = x

Substract 5/3 from it

So,

⇒ x - 5 / 3

Multiplies the result by 9

⇒ 9 (x - 5 / 3)

Also,

The result obtained is 6 times the same number

⇒ 9 (x - 5 / 3) = 6x

⇒ 9x - 15 = 6x

⇒ 9x - 6x = 15

⇒ 3x = 15

⇒ x = 15 / 3

⇒ x = 5

Therefore,

The number is 5
