Question

a pole is X metre long is broken into two part 1 part is 5 metre
1.what is the length of the other part?
2.if the other part is 6 metres long, write an equation and use it to find the value of x

Answer 1

$\underline{\textsf{Given:}}$

$\textsf{Length of the pole is x metres and}$

$\textsf{length of one part is 5 metres}$

$\underline{\textsf{To find:}}$

$\textsf{Length of the other part}$

$\underline{\textsf{Solution:}}$

$\textsf{Since length one part of the pole is 5 metres,}$

$\textsf{other part of the pole is (x-5) metres}$

$\textsf{When other part of the pole=6 metres}$

$\implies\mathsf{x-5=6}$

$\implies\mathsf{x=6+5}$

$\implies\boxed{\mathsf{x=11}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Let the other part be x

∴x+5=y

=length of the other part =x-5

2) If x=6

x-5=6

x= 6+5

x=11cm
