Question

twelve added to three time a number is equal to 2added to 5 time the number what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required no. be x.

Then,A/q

3x+12 = 5x+2

3x-5 = 2-12

-2x = -10

2x = 10

x = $\frac{10}{2}$

x = 5

Answer 2

Lets take this numerically...

‘12 added to’ means 12+

‘3 times a no.’ means 3  x a number (let this number be ‘x’)

therefore, 12+ 3*x

‘equal to’ means =

‘2 added to 5times the number’ means 2+5*x

therefore, the equation becomes : 12+3x=2+5x

12+2=5x-3x

= 14=2x

14÷2 = x

7 = x

therefore, $7$ is the number
