Question

When 5 is added to thrice a number, we obtain 49.​

Answer 1

Given information,

5 is added to thrice a number, we obtain 49.

We have to find out the number.

Let, The number is x.

We can write given information as,

$5 + 3x = 49$

Shift 5 to right it becomes -5

$3x = 49 - 5$

$3x = 44$

Divide both sides by b3 we get

$x = 14.66$

Hence,

The value of the number is 14.66 .

Answer 2

To find : missing number

Given : When 5 is added to thrice a number, we obtain 49.​

Solution :

• As per given data we know that when 5 is added to thrice a number, we obtain 49.​
• Let , original number be $x$ .
• Then as per given condition we write as,

        $5 + 3x = 49$  

• Using transposition method we find the value of $x$ .  By transposing constants at RHS and leaving variable at LHS .
• $5 + 3x = 49$    

       $3x = 49 - 5 \\ x = \frac{44}{3}$

Hence , original number is $\frac{44}{3}$ .
