Question

if 5/4 times a number result in the value of the number increasing by 10, find the number.

Answer 1

Let the number be x

5/4x=x+10

5/4x-x=10

5x-4x/4=10

x/4=10

x=10×4

x=40

Answer 2

let the no. be x

so, acc. to condition

5/4*x=x+10

= 5x-4x+40/4=0

x+40/4=0

x+40=0*4

so,x=    -40
