Question

Vijay thinks of a number and subtracts-25 from it.He divides the result by 2. The result now obtained is 2 times the number he thought of .What is the number?

Answer 1

Your answer is:

The number Vijay thought is 25/3.

Explanation:

Take the number as x. Then the equation is:

[x-(-25) / 2] ÷ 2 = 2x

→ [ x + 25 / 2 ] = 2x

→ x + 25 = 4x

→ 25 = 4x - x

→ 3x = 25

→ x = 25/3.

Therefore, 25/3 is the correct number.
