Question

The quotient of a number and 3 is the same as the difference of the number doubled and 5. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x  

We are given that x/3 = 2x-5  

Multiplying both sides by 3 we have x = 6x - 15

therefore, -5x = -15

so, x = 3
