प्रश्न
If a number is tripled and the result is increased by 5, we get 50. Find the number.
उत्तर
Let the required number be x.
According to the question, the number is tripled and 5 is added to it
∴ 3x + 5
or, 3x + 5 = 50
or, 3x + 5 − 5 = 50 − 5 [Subtracting 5 from both the sides]
or, 3x = 45
or, `(3x)/3=45/3` [Dividing both the sides by 3]
or, x = 15
Thus, the required number is 15.

To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
- We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
- We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13)
