Question

the age
3. A number divided by 3 and decreased by 5 is 6. What is the number??​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:-

Let the number be considered as $x$ .

So, According to Question:-

CASE 1:-

• Number divided by 3.

So, it will be $\dfrac{x}{3}$

CASE 2:-

• And decreased by 5 gives 6.

So it gives

$\dfrac{x}{3} - 5 = 6$

$\dfrac{x - 15}{3} = 6$

$x - 15 = 3 \times 6 = 18$

$x = 18 + 15$

So, the Required Number is 33.

Things to Note:-

• While simplification, use the BODMAS rule.
• According to this rule:-
• Brackets of Division multiplication addition Subtraction.
• This states that first the calculation in The Brackets must be done.
• Followed by Division AND Multiplication.
• Then Addition and Subtraction.
• If we do not follow this rule, our results may be wrong.
• Decreases states Subtraction.
• Increased states Addition.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be considered as xx .

So, According to Question:-

3

x

CASE 2:-

And decreased by 5 gives 6.

So it gives

\dfrac{x}{3} - 5 = 6

3

x

−5=6

\dfrac{x - 15}{3} = 6

3

x−15

=6

x - 15 = 3 \times 6 = 18x−15=3×6=18

x = 18 + 15x=18+15

So, the Required Number is 33.

Things to Note:-

While simplification, use the BODMAS rule.

According to this rule:-

Brackets of Division multiplication addition Subtraction.

This states that first the calculation in The Brackets must be done.
