x/25 = remainder 23,
x/32 = remainder 30.
...what is x?
:
The difference of the remainders and the divisors is 7
write an equation like this:
= + 7
multiply by the least common multiple, 800; resulting in:
32(x-23) = 25(x-30) + 800
32x - 736 = 25x - 750 + 5600
32x - 25x = -750 + 736 + 5600
7x = 5586
x = 5586/7
x = 798 is the number
