The number is 18. Let's make the number X.
So 1/3 of X = X-12, of means multiplication.
1/3 × X= X-12,
X=3(X-12)
X= 3X-36
Collect like terms,
X-3X= -36
-2X=-36
The minus sign will be cancelled.
2X=36
Divide both sides by 2
X=18.
Do let me know if you understand. Thanks.

Why is15 a deficient number?
That means that the sum of the number's factors, less than the number itself, is less than the number in question - in this case, if you add the factors of 15 (except 15 itself, which is also a factor of 15), you get a total that is less than 15.

My value is even. When you multiply me by myself the answer is less then 20. I am bigger then 2 who am I?
It depends on the number itself, if the number is 3 multiplied by itself is 9, which is less than 20 but bigger than 2, so if the number is 3 it means 3x3=9 Therefore it could be any small number times itself
