Question

Twelve less than thrice a certain number is twenty four

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x.

= 3x-12 = 24

= 3x = 24 + 12

= 3x = 36

x =  $\huge\frac {36}{3}$

x = 12 ( ans ).

Now let's check our answer -

= According to our answer x = 12

So ,$12\times 3 - 12 = 24$

36 - 12 = 24

= And 36 - 12 = 24

So, 24 = 24

LHS = RHS

Hence, Problem Solved :)
