Divide 54 into two parts so that four times the greater equals five time the less

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30

Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24

5x-(x+1)=5-2x i dont understand what to do. Plz help

Vlada [557]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(x+1)=5-2x

distribute

5x-x-1 = 5-2x

4x-1 = 5-2x

add 2x on each side

4x-1+2x = 5-2x+2x

6x -1 = 5

add 1 on each side

6x-1+2 = 5+1

6x = 6

divide by 6

6x/6 = 6/6

x = 1
