let the number be X.

A / q ,

➡️ 2x / 5 - X / 7 = 36

➡️ 14x - 5x / 7 = 36

➡️ 9 x. = 36 × 7

➡️ X = 28 Ans

john332: let the number be x
john332: Let the reqired number be x
now2/5 of x=2x/5
x exceeds 1/7 of number 36

there for the equation 2x/5=x/7+36
2x/5-x/7-36=0
9(x-140)/35=0

x=140
sanjaysaha: plz can u write it as clear
john332: here
let number be 'x'
then
2/5*x=2x/5
according to question
x exceeds 1/7 of number 36
so 2x/5=x/7+36
or,2x/5-x/7=36
or,(14x-5x)/35=36
or,9x=35*36
or,9x=1260
x=140
