Question

3 plus the quotient of a number and 2 is 7. What is the number?​

Answer 1

3 + x/2 = 7
x = (7-3)*2 = 8 = the number

Answer 2

Answer:

The required number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

Now, it is given that, 3 plus quotient of a number and 2 is 7, then

$3 + \frac{x}{2}=7$

Subtracting '3' from both sides of the above equation, we get

$3 + \frac{x}{2}-3=7-3$

$\implies\frac{x}{2} =4$

Now, multiplying both sides by '2' in the above obtained equation, we get

$\frac{x}{2}\times2 = 4\times2$

$\implies x = 8$

So, the required number is 8.
