Answer: The number is 10.

Explanation:

Let x be the required number.

Given: 11 is multiplied to the number then 24 is subtracted from that and the result is 86.

The mathematical statement for the given situation,

11x -24 = 86

To solve the equation, Add 24 on both sides , we get

11x - 24 +24 = 86+24

⇒ 11x = 110

Divide both sides by 11, we get

x = 10

hence, the number is 10.
