Question 6 Linear Equations in one variable Exercise 7B

The fifth part of a number when increased by 5 equals its fourth part decreased by 5. Find the

number.

Answer:

Solution:-

Let the required number be x.

Then,

= (x/5) + 5 = (x/4) – 5

Transposing (x/4) to LHS and it becomes – (x/4) and 5 to RHS it becomes -5

= (x/5) – (x/4) = -5 - 5

= (4x – 5x)/20 = -10

= -x/20 = -10

Multiplying both side by (-20)

= (-x/20) × (-20) = (-10) × (-20)

= x = 200

∴the required numbers are 200
