Q. 5. Find the number whose fifth part increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 5 .6. Three numbers are in the ratio of 4:5:6. If the sum of the largest and the smallest equals the sum of the third and 55 , find the numbers.7. If 10 be added to four times a certain number, the result is 5 less than five times the number. Find the number
Set up equation for x: Let x be the number we are looking for in the first problem. Set up the equation based on the problem statement: one-fifth of x plus 5 equals one-fourth of x minus 5.
Clear fractions and solve: Clear the fractions by multiplying every term by 20, the least common multiple of 4 and 5.
Find numbers using k: Simplify and solve for x.
Simplify and solve for k: For the second problem, let the three numbers be 4k, 5k, and 6k respectively. According to the problem, the sum of the largest and smallest equals the sum of the third and 55.
Calculate actual numbers: Simplify and solve for k.
Set up equation for y: Calculate the actual numbers using the value of k.
Simplify and solve for y: For the third problem, let y be the certain number. Set up the equation: 10 added to four times y equals 5 less than five times y.
Simplify and solve for y: For the third problem, let y be the certain number. Set up the equation: 10 added to four times y equals 5 less than five times y. Simplify and solve for y.
