Question

What is x if x / 5 + x / 2 equals 14

Answer 1

The value of x is 20

Expalantion

As given in question

`x/5+x/2 = 14`

We have to determine the value of x

So, by taking LCM of given equation

`(2x + 5x)/10 = 14`

By taking 10 to other side of equation

`2x + 5x = 14 * 10`

`2x + 5x = 140`

`7x = 140`

`x = 140/7`

x = 20
