Answer 1

Let the number be x.
So,
100-4 = 2x+36
96 = 2x+36
96-36 = 2x
60 = 2x

Therefore, x= 30 

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

We are given that a number is two times over and add a thirty six.

$2x+36$

To reach a century you still need 4

So, $100-(2x+36)=4$

$100-2x-36=4$

$100-40=2x$

$60=2x$

$30=x$

Hence the number is 30
