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
Hope it helps . Note that I am a sixth grade student and I don’t know anything . I got help from somebody
Answer:
Part A
x = liters (the milk and water)
0.2 x + 1 = x
Part B
0.2 x + 1 = x
0.8 x = 1
x = 1 : 0.8 = 1.25 liters
Milk
1.25 x 0.2 = 0.25
