Question

when 1/3 of a number is added to 5 we get 8 find the no.​

Answer 1

Let the no. be x

$\frac{x}{3} + 5 = 8$

$\frac{x + 15}{3} = 8$

$x + 15 = 8 \times 3$

$x + 15 = 24$

$x = 24 - 15 \: = \: 9$

Answer 2

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 9 because we took the unknown number as x

so x/3+5=8

and then we subtract 5 from 8 or you can subtract 5 from both side

now when we have x/3=3

we will either multiple both numbers or multiply the RHS 3

and now we have 9 as are answer
