Question

if 3/5 of a number exceeds its 2/7 by44 . find the number

Answer 1

Let x be the number.

Given, x * 3/5 = x*2/7+44

          = 3x/5-2x/7=44

          = (21x-10x)/35=44

          =  11x=44 * 35

         x=(44 * 35)/11

          x=140

So, the number is 140.


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

$\frac{3x}{5} = \frac{2x}{7} + 44 \\ \frac{3x}{5} - \frac{2x}{7} = 44 \\ \frac{21x - 10x}{35} = 44 \\ \frac{11x}{35} = 44 \\ x = 35 \times 4 \\ x = 140$
