⇒ 5 + 3 = x - 3 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides)
⇒ 8 = x
∴ x = 8
Then x - 7 = 12
⇒ x - 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 (Adding 7 to both sides)
x = 19
∴ Required number = 19
∴ According to the sum:
x + 17 = 54
⇒ x = 54 - 17
⇒ x = 37
Required number = 37
⇒ m - 2.7 = 4.5
⇒ m = 4.5 + 2.7
⇒ m = 7.2
⇒ p + 5 = 2
⇒ p = 2 - 5
⇒ p = - 3
⇒ a + 3 = - 5
⇒ a = - 5 - 3
⇒ a = - 8
