Question

Seven times a number is 36 less than 10 times the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

Given - Statement with information - Seven times a number is 36 less than 10 times the number.

Find - Number in given statement

Solution - Expressing the statement form of question in mathematical form we get -

7x = 10x - 36

Transferring 36 to LHS and 7x to RHS:

36 = 10x - 7x

36 = 3x

Dividing to get the value of x:

X = 36/3

X = 12

Hence, the number to be found is 12

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The number is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, it is given that we have to find the unknown number.

According to the statement given in the question:

The equation is written as,

$10x-7x=36$

Now simplifying it further, we get

Subtracting the like terms:

=> 3x = 36

Divide both the sides by $3$, we get

=> x = 12

Hence, the required number is 12.
