Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find a number which when multiplied by 5 will be increased by 80.
While solving these questions, The unknown quantity must be assigned a variable
What are variables?
Variables are alphabets which take
any value.
So, Let the number be x
Number when multiplied by 5 implies
→x * 5
» 5x
Number increased by 80 implies
X + 80
Question : A number which when multiplied by 5 will be increased by 80.
Since, We have assumed x is the number. The question changes to
x when multiplied by 5 is increased by 80
- 5x = x + 80
To find x, unknowns should be on one side of the equation and constants on other side.
Subtracting x from both sides,
- 5x - x= x + 80 - X
» 4x = 80
Dividing by 4 on both sides
→ 4x = 4 = 80 = 4
→ x = 20
Therefore, The number is 20.
