Correct Answer: 125/3
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
So from question 2N/5 + 25 = N
? 2N + 125 = 5N
? 3N = 125
? N = 125/3
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
Then, N/5 - 5 = 5
? N - 25 = 25
? N = 50
Correct Answer: 76
Explanation:
Let the original number be N.
So from question N - 3N/4 = 19
? 4N - 3N = 76
? N = 76
Correct Answer: 144
Explanation:
Let the required number is N.
Then, N/3 - N/4 = 12.
? 4N - 3N = 144
? N = 144
Correct Answer: 43
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
Then, x - 31 = 55 - x
? 2x = 55 + 31= 86
? 2x = 86
? x = 43
Correct Answer: 17, 18
Explanation:
Let the two number be x and (x + 1)
Then, (x+1)2 - x2 = 35
? 2x = 34
? x = 17
So, the number are 17 and 18
Correct Answer: 240
Explanation:
Let the number be 3N and 4N.
Then, 3N + 4N = 420
? 7N = 420
? N = 60
? Greater number = 4 x 60 = 240
Correct Answer: 3700
Explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b.
Then, a + b = 100 and a - b = 37
? a2 - b2 = (a+b) (a-b)
= 100 x 37
= 3700
Correct Answer: 136, 144
Explanation:
Let the number be x and (x + 8)
Then, 1/8[x + (x + 8)] = 35
? 2x + 8 = 280
? 2x = 270
? x = 136
So, the number are 136 and 144.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b
Then, (a-b) = (a2 - b2) / a+b
= 145/29
= 5
