Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.33333333333333

Explanation:

let asume the number as 'x'.

so,

they said increase a number by 2

so that is = 2x

now,

they said increase it by 3

so that is = (2x) × 3

now the equation is equal to 20. because it is given in question.

now,

(2x) × 3= 20

2x = 20/3

x = 6.66666666 / 2

x= 3.33333333

so the number is 3.33333333333
