Question

thrice a number is 24 more than one third of it. find it

Answer 1

let no. be x 

then, 3 x = 1/3 x + 24 

(3-1/3) x = 24 

8 / 3 x = 24 

so, x = (24*3)/8 

= 3*3 = 9 

x=9.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that thrice a number is 4 more than one third of it.

we have to find the number.

Let the number be x

According to question,

$3x=\frac{1}{3}x+24$

$3x-\frac{x}{3}=24$

$\frac{8x}{3}=24$

$x=24\times \frac{3}{8}=9$

Hence, the number is 9
