Question

4. A number is such that it is as much greater than 45 as it is less than 75. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be y

Let the number be x less than 75

That is ,75-x=y.......1

And let it be x more than 45

y=45+x.......2

From 1 and 2

75-x=45+x

x=15

Therefore,the number is 75-15 which is equal to 60 or you can add 45+15 . So you can do any one 75-15 or 45+15 the answer you get will be the same.

Answer 2

Hey Pretty Stranger!

Let the number be x

$\tt\underline{According \: to \: the \: Question : </p><p>}$

$\mapsto \sf \: x - 45 = 75 - x$

$\mapsto \sf \: x + x = 75 + 45$

$\mapsto \sf \: 2x= 120$

$\mapsto \sf \:x= \cancel\dfrac{120}{2}$

$\mapsto \sf \large\boxed{ \sf \: x= 60}$

$\therefore$ The number is 60.
