Question

What number is \[40\] more than \[717\] ?

Answer 1

Hint:In this question, we need to find the number when \[40\] more than \[717\] . Here we need to find a new number which is \[40\] more than \[717\] . Here more than stands for addition . Mathematically, the addition of two numbers is the method of calculating the sum of the given two numbers. First let us consider the number which we need to find be \[x\] . Then we need to form an expression according to the question. If we have done the expression then we can easily see how to solve it further as we will get the one linear equation with one variable. Using this we can find the new number.

Complete step by step solution:
Let us consider the number as \[x\]. That is \[x\] is the number \[40\] more than \[717\] .
First, according to the question, we can form an expression.
\[\Rightarrow \ x=40+717\]
On adding,
We get,
\[x=757\]
Thus we get the number \[757\] is \[40\] more than \[717\] .
The number \[757\] is \[40\] more than \[717\] .

Note:
In these types of questions, it is important to read the question carefully if the relation between the numbers is given then it will lead to the single variable questions otherwise two different variables and just write down in the form of mathematical equations what the question has given and it will automatically lead to a proper solution. We should also be careful in the simplification part that attention must be given while forming and solving the linear equation.
