Question

A number is as much greater than 17 as it less than 47. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be y

we know that, 17+x=47-x (given in q)

solving the equation, we get,

x+x=47-17

2x=30

x=15 ------(1)

since, no. y is greater than 17, (given)

17+x=y

17+15=y {from (1)}

32=y

we can observe, 47-15=32

and 17+15=32

hence proved!!

Answer 2

Answer:

let the no be x.

then the no is greater than 47 by (x- 17 ).

and the no is less than 47 by (47-x).

Now it is given that they both are equal.

Now, form the equation and solve it

x-17=47-x

x+x-17=47

2x-17=47

2x= 47+17

2x= 64

x= 64/2

x= 32 Ans
