Answer 1

hey dear

here is your answer

___________________________________

given

Let the number be 4x



less than 60 = 60 - 4x . (1 )



7times the number written as 7x


greater than 61 = 7x- 61. ( 2)



substitute both the equation equal

60 - 4x = 7x - 61

-4x - 7x = -61 -60

-11x = - 121

x = -121 / -11

hence x = 11

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

Given that 4 times, a certain number is as much less than 60 as 7 times a number is greater than 61.

= > 60 - 4x = 7x - 61

= > 60 + 61 = 7x + 4x

= > 121 = 11x

= > x = 11.


Therefore the number is 11.
