179

Explanation:

Answer 2

Thirteen greater than 192- the number is 179.

Solution:

Let the number be x. It is given that the thirteen greater than a number is 192. Since we have assumed the number to be x, thus we have to find the value of x.

Using the below equation we will try to find the value of x.

`13+x = 192`

`x = 192 -13`

`x = 179`

Thus the number is 179.

To check the solution we put the value of x in the left hand side (L.H.S) equation and match it with the right hand side value.

`L.H.S = 13+x`

`\Rightarrow 13+179`

`\Rightarrow 192 = Right-hand side`
