A number, half of that number, and one fifth of that number are added. The result is 51. What is the original number?

1 answer:

7 0

Let the original number be ‘x’
Then half of that number= 1/2x or simply x/2
Similarly one fifth of that number = x/5
According to the question
x+x/2+x/5=51
Taking LCM
10x/10+2x/10+5x/10=51
Multiplying 10 throughout
10x+2x+5x=510
17x=510
x=510/17
Therefore x=30

Express the area of the rectangle in term of x

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Area = $12-\frac{4}{35}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the given rectangle 'l' = (15 - $\frac{1}{7}x$ )

Width of the given rectangle 'w' = $\frac{4}{5}$

Area of the rectangle = lw

= $\frac{4}{5}(15-\frac{1}{7}x)$

= $\frac{4\times 15}{5}-\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{1}{7}x$

= $12-\frac{4}{35}x$

Therefore, expression that defines the area of the given rectangle will be,

Area = $12-\frac{4}{35}x$
