Algebra.Com's Answer #72587 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Add 5 to both sides and you have: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 20 to get rid of the denominators: \n" ); document.write( "20* \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( " |
