Question

If the product of some number and three is increased by 24 the result is five times the number find the number

Answer 1

The Answer is: 12.

Explanation:

Let n = number.

The number times three plus 24 is equal to five times the number.

3n + 24 = 5n

24 = 5n - 3n

2n = 24

n = 12

Proof:

3(12) + 24 = 36 + 24 = 60

5(12) = 60
