Question

If twice a​ number, added to 3 is divided by the number plus 7​, the result is five thirds. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer: 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.

Now,

twice a​ number =>> 2n

added to 3 =>> 2n + 3

is divided by the number plus 7 is five thirds =>> (2n + 3) / (n + 7) = 5 / 3

(2n + 3) = (5 / 3) × (n + 7)

3 × (2n + 3) = 5 × (n + 7)

6n+9 = 5n + 35

6n - 5n = 35 - 9

n = 26
