Question

The quotient of a number and 3 minus 3 equals 7/3 find the number

Answer 1

The number is 16.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the required number is a.

So, as per given condition the quotient of a and 3 minus 3 will be equal to
`(7)/(3)`

So, from the condition given we can write

`(a)/(3)  - 3 = (7)/(3)`

⇒
`(a)/(3) = 3 + (7)/(3)`

⇒
`(a)/(3) =  (16)/(3)`

⇒ a = 16 ( Answer )
