Answer 1

✧ Question ✧

Two more than three times a number is 12. Find the number.

✧ Given ✧

Two more than three times a number is 12.

✧ To find ✧

The number.

✧ Solution ✧

Let the number be x.

According to condition,

3x+2 = 12

↝ 3x = 12-2

↝ 3x = 10

↝ x = 10/3

↝ x = 3⅓

✧ Hence ✧

☞ x = 3⅓

✧ Therefore ✧

The number is 3⅓.

________________________________

✧ Verification ✧

3x+2 = 12

↝ (3×3⅓)+2 = 12

↝ (3×10/3)+2 = 12

↝ 10+2 = 12

↝ 12 = 12

So, L.H.S = R.H.S.

Hence, verified.
