SOLVE THIS WHEN I ADD A NUMBER TO ANOTHER NUMBER FOUR TIMES AS BIG,THE RESULT IS 30. FIND THE FIRST NUMBER
I think it's 6. Because 6 x 4 = 24 and 24 + 6 = 30.
hope it's right :)
x + 4x = 30
solving this will confirm if you are right or not
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's assume the first number is represented by the variable "x".
According to the problem, when you add a number to another number four times as big, the result is 30. This can be written as:
x + 4x = 30
To solve for x, we combine the like terms:
5x = 30
Next, we isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 30 / 5
By performing the division, we find:
x = 6
Therefore, the first number is 6.
