-
- x-75=117-x
2x= 192
x= 96 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- From question we need calculate A.M.(Arithmetic Mean).
A.M. = (75+117)/2
= 96. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- d) 96
If the number=x, then x-75 =117-x or 2x=192, x=96 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 96
(96-75)=(117-96) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- let no. be x
x-75=117-x
2x=192
x=96 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 96
96-75=117-96=21 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 89 is greater than 75 and smaller than 117
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 75+21=96
117-21=96 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 96
75+21=96
117-21=96 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 96 is the answer.
75>117
x-75=117-x
x+x=117+75
2x=192
x=192/2
x=96 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- option d
75+117/2 = 96 - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 96
the difference between 75 to 96 is same as te difference between 117 and 96 i.e.. 21 - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Let the required number be x.
Given: x is as much greater than 75 as it is smaller than 117.
So, mathemetically:
x - 75 = 117 - x
=> x+x = 75+117
=> 2x = 192
=> x = 192/2
=> x = 96
So, option d) is the correct answer. - 1 year agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
