times 6.
2x + 30 = 9x
7x = 30
x = 30/7

check:
(1/3)(30/7) + 5 = 45/7

1/3 of a number is added to 5. The result is one and half times the original number.
Let the number be X.
Therefore the mathematical representation of this question= 1x/3 + 5 = 3x/2
x/3 + 5 = 3x/2
Multiply through by he LCM = 6
6(x/3) + 6(5) = 6(3x/2)
2x + 30 = 9x
bring like terms together
30 = 9x - 2x
30 = 7x
7x = 30
x = 30/7
Therefore x = 42/7(four whole number two over seven)
4Β²/7
