Question

One number is 3 time another number. If 5 is added to both the number then one of the new number becomes twice that of other new number find the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

The original number is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other is 3x.

Adding 5 to both numbers we get x + 5 and 3x + 5 and we are also given that (3x + 5) = 2(x + 5)

3x + 5 = 2x + 10

3x - 2x = 10 - 5

x = 5.
