Let's denote number in the tens place with x. Then the number in hundreds place is (x+1). We can make an equation:

x + x + 1 = 11

2 x = 10

x = 5

This number is 659

The number will be "659". A complete solution is provided below.

Let,

  • The number in the tens place be "x".
  • The number in hundreds place be "(x+1)".

According to the question, the equation will be:

→  \(x + x + 1 = 11\)

→       \(2x+1=11\)

By subtracting "1" from both sides, we get

→ \(2x+1-1=11-1\)        

→              \(2x=10\)

→                \(x = \frac{10}{2}\)

→                 \(x =5\) (tens place)

now,

Hundreds place,

= \(x+1\)

= \(5+1\)

= \(6\)

Thus the above answer is correct.
