If a number is much greater than the sum of its 12th and 8th parts as is less than 258 ? then what will be the number?

• x - (x/12) + (x/8) = 258 - x
  24x - 2x - 3x = 24*258 - 24x
  43x = 24*258
  x = 24*6 = 144

• Let the number be X.
  Then its 12th and 8th parts are X/12 and X/8
  Sum of X/12 and X/8 = X/12 + X/8 = 5X/24
  From the given question, we have X - 5X/24 = 258-X
  19X/24 = 258 - X
  19X = 24 x 258 - 24X
  19X + 24X = 6192
  43X = 6192
  X = 144
  Hence the number is 144.

• 144
  
  x-(x/12 + x/8) = 258-x
  solve it
  result is 144

• (x/12)+(x/8)=20x/96=5x /24
  x-(5x/24)=258-x
  19x/24=258-x
  19x=24*258-24x
  19x+24x=6192
  43x=6192
  x=6192/43
  x=144
