Question

"Six more than one third of a number is three."

Answer 1

:- Six more than one third of a number is three. Find the number.


:-

Let the number be x

One third of a number = x =

Six more than one third of a number = + 6

Their sum = 3


Accoeding to the question,

+ 6 = 3

Multiplying both sides by 3 we get,

x + 18 = 9

Moving constant to the right, we get,

x = 9 - 18

By calculation, we get,

x = -9



∴ The number is -9



Verification :-

+ 6 = 3

=> + 6 = 3

=> -3 + 6 = 3

=> 3 = 3

LHS = RHS ✔✔




∴ The number is -9
