Find the number?
(1) 24
(2) 30
(3) 36
(4) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

4) None of these

Step-by-step explanation:

(6+x)×8=(26×10)+12

(6+x)=272÷8

x=34-6

x=28

Answer 2

Given:

The number to be added = 6

The number to be multiplied = 8

The other number to be added = 10

The other number to be multiplied = 12

Result = 26

To find:

The number

Solution:

Let the number be = x

According to the question, the equation will be -

8( 6 + x ) = ( 26 × 10 ) + 12

Solving -

48 + 8x = 260 + 12

48 + 8x = 272

8x = 272 - 48

8x = 224

x = 224/8

x = 28

Answer: The required number is 28.
