Question

find a number which when multiplied by 5 is increased by 60

Answer 1

Heya user! Here is your answer✌☺☺



Let the number be x

A number multiplied by 5 = x × 5

A number is increased by 60 = x + 60


According to the question,

x × 5 = x + 60

➾ 5x = x + 60

➾ 5x - x = 60

➾ 4x = 60

➾ x = $\dfrac{60}{4}$

➾ x = 15



∴ $\sf{The \: number \: is \: 15}$



Verification :-

x × 5 = x + 60

➾ 15 × 5 = 15 + 60

➾ 75 = 75

∴ LHS = RHS✔✔
