Question

find a number such that it's excess over 50 maybe greater by 11 than its deficit from 89

Answer 1

let the number = x

excess over 50 the number = x+50------(1)

deficit from 89 the number = 89- x------(2)

(1)  - (2) = 11

x+50 - (89 - x) = 11
x+ 50 - 89 + x=11

2x -39 =11

2x = 11+39

2x = 50

x= 50/2
x=25

the number =x = 25
