If five times the successor of a number is added to an original number the sum is 83

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]2 years ago

Answer:

Let the original number be x

Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.

also, the  successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.

Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1

As per the given condition :

we have;

5(x+1)+x =83

Using distributive property on LHS (i.e, a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c )

Then, we have

5x+5+x=83

Combine like terms;

6x+5=83

Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;

6x+5-5=83-5

Simplify:

6x=78

Divide both side by 6,

\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{78}{6}

Simplify:

x =13

Therefore, the original number x is, 13

You plan to build a house that is 1 ½ times as long as it is wide. You want the land around the house to be 20 feet wider than t
IgorLugansk [536]

The total area with land based on the information given is 3x² + 60x.

<h3>How to find the area?</h3>

Let the width = x

Let the length = (1.5 × x) = 1.5x

Area = 1.5x × x = 1.5x²

The area along with land:

Width = x + 20

Length = 3 × x = 3x

The total area with land:

= Length × Width

= 3x(x + 20)

= 3x² + 60x.

Solve for x: 3√5x² +25x-10√√5 = 0
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:  x = - 2√5, √5/3

Step-by-step explantion

3 √ 5 x 2 + 25 x − 10 √ 5 = 0 35x2+25x−105=0

⇒ 3√5x2 + 30x – 5x – 10√5 = 0  

⇒ 3√5x(x + 2√5) – 5(x + 2√5) = 0  

⇒ (x + 2√5)(3√5x – 5) = 0

x = - 2√5, √5/3
