Question

Which of the following number, when added to itself 14 times gives 75 as result?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number when added to 14 times itself will give 75 is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : We should assign letters to the unknown value of the number.

Let the number be x.

Step 2 : Use the given information in the question to form an equation.

14 times the number is :

= 14x

Adding 14 times the number to the number can be translated as :

x + 14x

We are told this equals to 75.

We therefore have :

x + 14x = 75

15x = 75

Step 3 : Solve for x to get the number.

We have :

15x = 75

To get the value of x, you divide both sides by 15:

15x = 75

x = 75/15

x = 3

The number is therefore 3.

Answer 2

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+14x=75

15x=75

x=75/15

x=5
