Question

5 less than one-fourth of Raju’s age x equals 10. Choose correct equation for the given statement. *
(a) 4x – 5 = 10
(b) 4x + 5 = 10
(c) x/4 – 5 = 10
(d) x/4 + 5 = 10

PLS WRITE THE CORRECT ANSWER

Answer 1

(c) x/4 – 5 = 10

therefore the age will be:

$\frac{x}{4} - 5 = 10$

$\frac{x}{4} = 10 + 5 = 15$

$x = 15 \times 4$

$x = 60$

Answer 2

$1) \: 4x - 5 = 10$

$4x = 10 + 5$

$x = \frac{15}{4}$

$2) \: \: 4x + 5 =10$

$4x = 10 - 5$

$4x = 5$

$x = \frac{5}{4}$

$3) \: \: \frac{x}{4} - 5 = 10$

$\frac{x}{4} = 10 + 5$

$\frac{x}{4} = 15$

$x = 15 \times 4$

$x = 60$

$4) \: \frac{x}{4} + 5 = 10$

$\frac{x}{4} = 10 - 5$

$\frac{x}{4} = 5$

$x = 5 \times 4$

$x = 20$

$option \: \: 3 \: is \: \: correct$
