Answer 1

Let the number is xx

\therefore \dfrac{1}{4}(x)-\dfrac{1}{5}(x+1)=3∴

4

1

(x)−

5

1

(x+1)=3

\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x-4(x+1)}{20}=3⇒

20

5x−4(x+1)

=3

\Rightarrow 5x-4x-4=60⇒5x−4x−4=60

\therefore x=64∴x=64.

Answer 2

One-fourth of a number exceeds one-fifth of its succeeding number by 3; find the number. ∴ x = 64 \therefore x=64 ∴x=64
