find the no. whose fifth part increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 5
\n" ); document.write( "Just write an equation of what it says:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F5\"x + 5 = \"1%2F4\"x - 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Add 5 to both sides and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F5\"x + 10 = \"1%2F4\"x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 20 to get rid of the denominators:
\n" ); document.write( "20*\"1%2F5\"x + 20(10) = 20*\"1%2F4\"x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "cancel out the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 200 = 5x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "200 = 5x - 4x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 200
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check solution by substituting 200 for x in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
