Question

Write the sentence as an algebraic equation and find its solution.

Three times Deeksha's age equals $15$.

Answer 1

Step 1: Write the equation

Let, Deeksha's age be $x$.

So, the equation is $3x=15$

Step 2: Solve the equation

$$\begin{gathered} 3x=15 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{3} \\ \Rightarrow x=5 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the solution of the equation is $5$.
