Question
A number is $7$ more than one-third of itself.
✓
Answer
Let the number be $x.$
Then, $\frac{1}{3}\text{rd}$ of the number $=\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
So, the equation formed is $\text{x}=7+\frac{\text{x}}{3}.$
Then, $\frac{1}{3}\text{rd}$ of the number $=\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
So, the equation formed is $\text{x}=7+\frac{\text{x}}{3}.$
