Question

3 plus the quotient of a number and 2 is 7. What is the number?​

Answer 1

3 + x/2 = 7
x = (7-3)*2 = 8 = the number

Answer 2

The required number is 8.

Explanation:

Let the required number be x.

Now, it is given that, 3 plus quotient of a number and 2 is 7, then

`3 + (x)/(2)=7`

Subtracting '3' from both sides of the above equation, we get

`3 + (x)/(2)-3=7-3`

`\implies(x)/(2) =4`

Now, multiplying both sides by '2' in the above obtained equation, we get

`(x)/(2)*2 = 4*2`

`\implies x = 8`

So, the required number is 8.
