Question

Five times of a number is same as 4 more than its 3 times, then what is the number?

Answer 1

Calculate the value of number

Let the number be $x$

As per the Question, The statement can be expressed as

$5x=4+3x$

Subtract 3x on both sides, we have

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 5x-3x=4+3x-3x \\ \Rightarrow 2x=4 \end{gathered}$$

Divide 2 on both sides, we have

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2} \\ \Rightarrow x=2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence the given number is $2.$
