Question

5. Find the number whose fifth part increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 5. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x. According to the question we can write as (1/5) x+5 = (1/4) x – 5 On rearranging (1/5) x – (1/4) x = -5-5 (1/5) x – (1/4)x =-10 By taking L.C.M we get (4x-5x)/20=-10 Again by transposing x= 200

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

According to the question we can write as (1/5)x+5=(1/4)x−5On rearranging(1/5)x−(1/4)x=−5−5(1/5)x−(1/4)x=−10Now taking the L.C.M we get(4x−5x)/20=−10Again by transposing
