When a number has 6 added to it, and the result is divided by 3, the answer is the same as adding 1 to the number. Find the number.
Let x = the number
:
= x + 1
x + 6 = 3(x+1)
x + 6 = 3x + 3
6 - 3 = 3x - x
2x = 3
x = 1.5
We expect an integer in these sort of problems, but this one is not
Check
= 1.5 + 1
= 2.5
