Question

Malachy was thinking of a number. Malachy adds 9 then divides by 3 to get an answer of 48. Form an equation with
x
from the information.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

• Number = x

$(x+9) \div 3=48$

$x+9=48\times 3$

$x+9=144$

$x=144-9$

$x=135$

Therefore,

The number = 135
