Question

When 4 is subtracted from three times a number and the result is divided by 3 more than the
number, we get 2/5. Find the number. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The required number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the required number be x,

then it is given that,

(3x - 4 ) /(x+3) = 2/5

=> 5*(3x-4) = 2*(x+3)

=> 15x-20 = 2x+6

=> 15x-2x = 6+20

=> 13x = 26

=> x = 26/13

    x  = 2
