Question

Thrice a number when increased by 6 gives 24

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

We can work the problem backwards

Since something gives 24 that means it equals 24

= 24

Something increased by 6, so something added by 6

Something + 6 = 24

Making something = x

x + 6 = 24

If we subtract 6 from both sides

x = 18

Trice a number, so divide this number by 3

x = 6

Trice of 6 is 18... 18 increased by 6 gives 24

Answer 2

Answer:6

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Now, 3x+6=24

3x=24-6

3x=18

x=18/3

x=6
