Answer 1

ⓢⓞⓛⓤⓣⓘⓞⓝ

let the number be x

according to the question

the number is x+17=54

i.e when the number added to 17 it becomes 54

therefore we will say that when we substract 17 from 54

according to the question,

the equation is =x+17=54

x+17=54

or,x=54-17

or,x=37

therefore the number is 37

prove that RHS=LHS

RHS=54

LHS=x+17

x+17=54

or,37+17=54(putting the value of x)

or,54=54
