1. Sum of A and 8 gives 142. The sum of one-fifth of X, one-fourth of B and 7
Answer (1)
Let's break down these statements and turn them into equations: Statement 1: Sum of A and 8 gives 14 This translates to: A + 8 = 14 Statement 2: The sum of one-fifth of X, one-fourth of B and 7 This translates to: (1/5)X + (1/4)B + 7 = ? (We don't have a specific result for this sum) To solve for A: - Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: A + 8 - 8 = 14 - 8- This gives us: A = 6 To solve for X and B, we need more information. We have one equation with two unknowns, which means there are infinitely many possible solutions for X and B. Let me know if you have any more information or if you'd like to explore specific scenarios for X and B!ez ez
