Question

a number is as much greater than 35 as is less than53

Answer 1

Number is y = 35+x and 53-x

            so, 35+x = 53-x
             so, 2x = 53-35
                  2x =  18
                 So, x = 9
    so, number = 35 + 9 =44

Answer 2

the number is greater than 35 and is less than 53. as no other specifications are mentioned, the answer will be any number between 35 and 53......
it also can be represented as x, where x is a whole number and can be variable...
