Answer» Correct Answer - (i) `2x+6 = 14`
(ii) `x + (3x )/(5) = 24`
(iii) `x - 20 = (x)/(2)`
(i) A number id doubled and added to 6, the result is equal to 14
Let the number be x.
Double the number =2x
It is added to 6.
`rArr2x+6`
The result is equal to 14
`rArr2x+6=14`
(ii) Let the number be x.
`(3)/(5)` of the number `=(3x)/(5)`
Given thant `x+(3x)/(5)=24`
(iii) Let the present age of the be x years. 20 years ago the ae of the man =(x-20) years
