Question

the sum of two numbers is 180. if one of the number is - 72 find the other number​

Answer 1

Answer:

252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the another no. be x

-72 + x = 180

Transpose -72 from LHS to RHS ( Its sign will change and become + )

x = 180 + 72

So , x = 252

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the other number.

       Given data:- Sum of two numbers=$180.$

                             One number=$-72.$

       To find:- other number=?

       Solution:-

       Let the numbers are $x$ are $y$ respectively.

       According to the question,

       $x+y=180.$

       Then, one number is $-72.$

      So,

        $\Rightarrow x+(-72)=180\\\Rightarrow x-72=180\\\Rightarrow x=180+72\\\Rightarrow x=252.$

    Hence, the value will be $252.$
