Question

I am a number, tell my identity. Take me three times over & add thirty four. To reach a century you still need six. "Who am I ?" *​

Answer 1

let the number be = x

3x + 34 + 6 = 100

3x = 100 - 40

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

The number is 20

Answer 2

Given:

• I am a number. Take me three times over & add thirty four. To reach a century you still need six. "Who am I ?" *

➲Understanding the question:

⇴It's a riddle here to solve this up we have to turn this off from statement form to equation form.

____________________________________

To Find:

• the number which satisfies the the given statement.

⇨ Analysis:

$\sf \purple{ \dag \: clues \: given :}$

❶ the number when tajen 3 times over and added to 34 gives out 6 less that 100.

Solution:

let's make it up into an equation form

$\longmapsto \tt \: let \: the \: number \: be \: x$

so,

$: \implies \sf \: 3x + 34 = 100 - 6 \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf 3x + 34 = 94 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf 3x = 94 - 34 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf 3x = 60 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf x = \cancel \frac{60}{3} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf x = 20 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \blue{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \mathfrak{ \therefore \: the \: required\: number \: is \: 20}}}}}$

Verification:

• ➢ let's put 20 in the place of x and check weather a satisfies the given riddle.!

now, 3 times 20 equals 60

so,adding up 34 to 60 gives up 94 which is 6 less than a century.
