Question

set up an equation if irfan says that he has seven marbles more than five time the marble Parmit has.Irfan has 37 marbles

Answer 1

'Let Parmit have X number of marbles'
Hence, Irfan has X × 5= (5x+7) marbles
The equation is :
'5x+7=37'
On solving further:
5x=37-7
5x=30
x=30÷5
x=6
Parmit has 6 marbles
Irfan has (5x+7)marbles
(5×6+7=37)marbles
********************

Answer 2

let the no. of marbles parmit has be x
then no. of marbles irfan has = 5x + 7
no. of marbles with irfan = 37
hence,the equation is : -
5x + 7 = 37
