Question

Write the equation and solve : Three fifth of m is 17 less than 11

Answer 1

STEP 1: Write the equation:

Three fifth of m is 17 less than 11

⇒ 3/5 m = 17 - 11

.............................................................................................................

STEP 2: Solve m:

3/5 m = 17 - 11

.

Add the sum on the RHS:

3/5 m = 6

.

Multiply by 5 through:

3m = 30

.

Divide both sides by 3:

m = 10

............................................................................................................

Answer: m is 10

Answer 2

Answer :-

m = 10

Explaination :-

Three fifth of m is 17 less than 11

Equation =

$= > \frac{3}{5} \: of \: m = 17 - 11$


$= > \frac{3}{5} \times m = 17 - 11$


$= > \frac{3m}{5} = 6$

$= > 3m \: = \: 6 \times 5$


$= > 3m \: = \: 30$

$= > m \: = \: \frac{30}{3}$

$= > m = 10$

$\large{\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{m = 10 }}}}}}}$

$\textbf{VERIFICATION}$

$= > \frac{3}{5} \times 10 = 17 - 11$

$= > 3 \times 2 \: = 6$

$= > 6 = 6$


$\therefore$LHS = RHS

$\therefore$ The value of m is 10
