Answer:
From the question, it is given that the number 5 is subtracted from three times a number, then the result is 16.
Let us assume the number be x, so now we have to frame the equation according to the question
Therefore, the equation is given by
⇒3x−5=16
Now taking the constant term to the right side, so we get
⇒3x=16+5
Now solving the addition part of the right side equation, we get
⇒3x=21
So taking the constant term to the right side in the denominator, we get
⇒x=213
On solving the division, we get
⇒x=7
Therefore, 7 is the number.
