: The number of whole numbers lying between 42 and 65 is 22 (65 – 42 – 1 = 22). They are as follows 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, and 64.
This is sometimes true I say this because if u substitute your answers that can be different or can be the same. for ex. x=6 y=6; 6-3 and 6-3 will be the same but if x= 10 and y=15; 10-3 and 15-3 would give you different answers
