Answer:

Amrita's number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x               Double the unknown number

2x             Add 9

2x + 9       Divide the answer by 3

2/3x + 3   Subtract 1

2/3x + 2   Set this equal to the original number

2/3x + 2 = x

-2/3x       -2/3x   Subtract 2/3x from both sides

2 = 1/3x   Multiply both sides by 3

6 = x

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

let p(x)=180

LCM=720

HCF=36

WE HAVE TO FIND q(x)=?

as we know that

p(x)×q(x)=LCM×HCF

NOW WE HAVE TO FIND q(x)

q(x)=LCM×HCF/p(x)

q(x)=720×36/180

q(x)=25920/180

q(x)=144

i hope this will help you
