Question

Write the equation if you add 2 to one third of x you get 30

Answer 1

Add 2 to one third of x you get 30

⇒ 1/3 x + 2 = 30

Solve x:

1/3 x + 2 = 30

1/3 x = 30 - 2

1/3 x = 28

x = 28 x 3

x = 84

Answer: x = 84

Answer 2

if we add 2 to one third of x you get 30.

e.g., 1/3 × x + 2 = 30

x/3 + 2 = 30

x/3 = 28

multiplying 3 both sides,

x/3 × 3 = 28 × 3

x = 28 × 3 = 84

hence, answer is x = 84
