Question

think of a number add 2 to it and then multiplythe sum by 6,the result is 42​

Answer 1

let the no. be x

according to the question, the equation will be formed as:-

$\huge \fbox \blue{6(x+2)=42}$

⇒6(x+2) = 42

⇒6x+12 = 42

⇒6x = 42-12

⇒6x = 30

⇒x = $\bf\dfrac{30}{6}$ = 5.

hence, the required no. is 5.
