Mo is thinking of a number. Eleven more than one-third of the number is -1. Find Mo's number.

Answer :

If Mo is thinking a number and eleven more than one third of the number is -1, then the Mo's number is -36

Mo is thinking a number

Consider the number as x

Then one third of the number = (1/3) × x

= x/3

Eleven more than one third of the number = (x/3) +11

Eleven more than one third of the number is -1

Form an equation using the given details

(x/3) + 11 = -1

Subtract 12 on both side of the equation

x/3 = -1-11

x/3 = -12

x = -12 × 3

x = -36

Hence, if Mo is thinking a number and eleven more than one third of the number is -1, then the Mo's number is -36
