Answer 1

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + X = Y

Y/ 3 = 27

Substitute Y with 5 + X

(5 + X) / 3 = 27

5 + X = 81

X = 76

Answer 2

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then added to 5 is 5 + n , so

$\frac{1}{3}$ (5 + n) = 27 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

5 + n = 81 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

n = 76

the number is 76
