Question

On Babylonian tablet YBC 4652, a problem is given that translates to this equation: X + + x plus StartFraction x Over 7 EndFraction plus StartFraction 1 Over 11 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus StartFraction x Over 7 EndFraction right-parenthesis equals 60.(x + ) = 60

What is the solution to the equation?
x = 48.125
x = 52.5
x = 60.125
x = 77

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given On Babylonian tablet YBC 4652, a problem is given that translates to this equation:  x plus StartFraction x Over 7 EndFraction plus StartFraction 1 Over 11 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus StartFraction x Over 7 EndFraction right-parenthesis  = 60  

What is the solution to the equation?

• Now we have the equation as
•                          So x + x/7 + 1/11 (x + x/7) = 60
•                         So x + x/7 + x/11 + x/77 = 60
•                         So taking lcm we get
•                           77 x + 11 x + 7x + x / 77 = 60
•                         So 96 x / 77 = 60
•                          So 96 x = 60 x 77
•                          So 96 x = 4620
•                           Or x = 4620 / 96
•                          Or x = 48.125
