a)51

Answer 2

Answer:

c.) 61 ✓

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• A number is as much greater than 36 as is less than 86.

To find:

• The number.

Solution:

Let's understand the concept first! First we will assume the number as x and we know a number is greater than 36, that means we will subtract 36 from the number because the number is greater than 36 and it is equal to the number which is less than 86, so 86 is greater than the number. Thus, we will subtract 86 from the number that is x. Therefore, forming an adequate equation and doing the required calculations, we can easily find out the value of x which is equal to the number.

Let's find out...

Let the number be x.

According to the problem,

• x - 36 = 86 - x
• x + x = 86 + 36
• 2x = 122
• x = 122/2
• x = 61

∴ The required number = 61

Option c.) is correct ✓

Verification:

L.H.S

= 61 - 36

= 25

R.H.S

= 86 - 61

= 25

Therefore, L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence Proved!!
