Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let that number be "x"

Step-by-step explanation:

diminished means decreased

according to question ,

1/5*x + 5 = 1/4*x - 5

x*(1/4 - 1/5) = 10

x/20 = 10 => x = 200 Answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x..

x/5+5=x/4-5

25+x/5=20-x/5

25+x/5+x/5=20

25+2x/5=20

2x/5=20-25

2x=5(-5)

2x=-25

x=-25/2
