Algebra.Com's Answer #368665 by mathsmiles(68)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem is about converting words into numbers. Let's take one part at a time.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We want the sum of 7 times the number and 5 times the number to give 84 \n" ); document.write( "Let's make the number X.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7X + 5X = 84 Does this answer the original problem? Read it and see.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's solve: \n" ); document.write( "Combining X terms: \n" ); document.write( "7X + 5X = 84 \n" ); document.write( "12X = 84 \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 12: \n" ); document.write( "X = 84/12 \n" ); document.write( "X = 7\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's check: \n" ); document.write( "Does the sum of 7 times 7 and 5 times 7 equal 84? \n" ); document.write( "7x7 + 5x7 = 84? \n" ); document.write( "49 + 35 = 84? \n" ); document.write( "84 = 84 Correct!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
