Google is your friend, lots of answers and details;

Random random = new Random();
int randomvalue = random.Next(a, b + 1);

What do you mean by "on a number like (x)"?

it means random numbers are around (X)

Your definition is that the numbers are between a and b, take it then that x is the mid point between a and b.

Anyhow, lots of documentation on the Random class on MSDN, take a read, experiment and use Google to find what you are looking for.
