Question

when raju multiples a certain number by 17 and adds 4 to the product ,he gets 225 .find that number

Answer 1

let the number be x.

Therefore, 17x + 4 = 225,

17x = 225 - 4 = 221

x = 221/17 = 13.

The number is 13.

In order to cross check the answer, put the value of x=13 on the left hand side of the above equation, and, we get, 17*13 + 4 = 225.

Thus, LHS = RHS.

Therefore, the value of x = 13 is verified.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that :-

Raju multiplies a certain number by 17 and adds 4 to the product he gets 225.

To find :-

The Number

$\huge{\sf{\boxed{\boxed{Solution:}}}}$

• Let the required number be x.

$\bold{A.T.Q}$

⇒ x × 17 + 4 = 225

⇒ x × 17 = 225 - 4

⇒ 17x = 221

⇒ x = 221/17

⇒ x = 13

Hence,

The required number is 13.
