x=65

Answer 2

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :A whole number is added to 50 and the same number is subtracted from 15

To Find :what is the sum of the resulting number

Solution:

Let the number be x

We are given that A whole number is added to 50

$\Rightarrow x+50$  ---1

The same number is subtracted from 15

$\Rightarrow 15-x$   ---2

Add 1 and 2

$\Rightarrow x+50+15-x$

$\Rightarrow 65$

Hence  the sum of the resulting number is 65.
