Question

9. Five times a number is the same as the number added to five. What is the number?

Answer 1

Let x be the number

5x = x + 5

subtract x from both sides

5x - x = 5

4x = 5

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 5/4

x = 5/4

=======

Check:

5 * (5/4) = (5/4) + 5

25/4 = 1.25 + 5

6.25 = 6.25
