Deleting up to a certain line in Vim

I know that to delete n lines, the command is [n]dd, where n is the number of lines to delete.

But what if I want to delete up to a certain line number? Say, if I'm on line 65 and I want to delete up to line 126 without having to do the math, how could I do that?

Delete, line number, go.

A lot of commands in Vim can be followed by a move command to specify the scope.

Use this command:
65,126d

user_915930 
:.,126d

. is the actual line. If you want delete from the next line, you can use .+1 instead.

user_116210 
:,126d

all done.
