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

Mathematics

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

Answer:

I would say D. There is no logical explanation for the final answer but there is for everything else.

For A: Makes sense because 3x-2 are in parenthesis outside a number so you can multiply.

For B: Makes sense because you are allowed to add/subtract like terms but in this case only subtracting would make sense, (which is what they did) since you want to get all the like terms on one side.

For C: Makes sense because you are trying to simplify the equation, and they are both like terms (they are both numbers that have no letter attached to them) and they are on the opposite side making them able to be simplified.

For D: No idea what the point is.
