(1/2) of the number is 3 more than (1/6)of the same number?

• x/2-x/6=3
  3x-x/6=3
  2x=18
  x=9

• let the number be a.
  (1/2)*a=3+(1/6)*a
  a/2=(18+a)/6
  so,a=9
  
  the number is 9.

• 9......(x/2)=(x/6)+3

• according to question
  (1/2)x+3=(1/6)x
  solve it we get x=9

• let the number be x
  then according to given condition
  x(1/2)-x(1/6)=3
  3x-x=18
  2x=18
  x=9.
  so 9 is the correct answer.
