I hope it's help you

Answer 2

Answer

• The greater number is 221.

To find :-

• The greater number.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, it is given that the difference of the two numbers is 68 and the smaller number is 153. We have to find the greater number.

Let :-

• The greater number be "x".

Then :-

• The difference of x and 153 will be 68.

Therefore,

$\rm{\longrightarrow \: x - 153 = 68}$

$\rm{\longrightarrow \: x = 68 + 153}$

$\rm{\longrightarrow \: x = 221}$

• The value of x is 221.

Hence :-

• The greater number is 221.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Verification :-

• To check our answer, let's subtract the greater number (221) from the smaller number (153) and see whether their difference is 68.

$\bf{\mapsto \: x - 153}$

Substituting the value of x,

$\bf{\mapsto \: 221 - 153}$

$\bf{\mapsto \: 68}$

We see that :-

• The difference of 221 and 153 is 68.

Hence verified!
