Question

A manufacturing company produces x units this week and wants to increase its weekly output by 125 units by next week. The company hopes to make 1350 units next week. Which equation can be used to find x?

x-1350=125
x-125=1350

x+125=1350
x+1350=125

Answer 1

x+125=1350

Explanation:

Given,

The units produced by the company this week = x,

After increasing 125 units,

New number of units produced by company = x + 125

According to the question,

`x+125 = 1350`

Which is the required equation that is used to find the value of x,

THIRD OPTION is correct.

Answer 2

The equation is used to find the value of x be

x+125=1350

Reason

As given in the question

A manufacturing company produces x units this week and wants to increase its weekly output by 125 units by next week.

The company hopes to make 1350 units next week.

than the equation is in the form

x + 125 = 1350

solving the above

x = 1350 - 125

x = 1225 units

therefore the equation is used to find the value of x be x+125=1350 and the value of x is 1225 units.

Hence proved
