Answer: The number would be 18

Step-by-step explanation:

18/2=9 9-3=6 6*3=18

The equation be (x/2) - 3 = x/3 then, the number of x = 18.

How to estimate the value of x?

To estimate the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to estimate the result.

Let x be the number

From the given information, we get

(x/2) - 3 = x/3

The set all the fractions on one side and constants on another side

(x/2) - (x/3) = 3

Multiply by LCM

3x - 18 = 2x

Add 18 to both sides

3x - 18 + 18 = 2x + 18

simplify

3x = 2x + 18

Subtract 2x from both sides

3x - 2x = 2x + 18 - 2x

x =18.

Therefore, the number is x = 18.
