24 is divided into two parts such that 7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part makes 146.find each part
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 1 part which makes up 24
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "(24-x) = 2nd part which makes up 24
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\" 7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part makes 146.\"
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 5(24-x) = 146
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 120 - 5x = 146
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 5x = 146 - 120
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 26
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"26%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13, one part of 24
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "24 - 13 = 11; the other part of 24
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part makes 146.\"
\n" ); document.write( "7(13) + 5(11) = 146 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
