Given:

• difference of a number and its three-fourth is 5

To find:

• the number​

Solving Question:

  We are given the difference of the  number and three- fourth of the number.Let 'x' be the number.Therefore, according to question

⇒ x + 3/4*x = 5

Solution:

$x - \dfrac{3}{4}x = 5\\\\\implies 4x -3x=20\:(multiply\:whole\:by\:4)\\\\\implies \boxed{\bold{x=20}}$

Hence, the number is  20

Verification:

substitute the value of 'x'

⇒ $20-\dfrac{3*20}{4}\\\\\implies 20 -15=5\\\\Thus,\:R.H.S=L.H.S$
