Question

89 more tan the quotient of an unknown number and 62is 94 what is the value of the unknown number

Answer 1

So,

"89 more than" = 89 +

"the quotient of an unknown number and 62" = 62 over x

"is 94" = 94


`89 + (62)/(x) = 94`

Multiply both sides by x.
89x + 62 = 94x

Subtract 89x from both sides.
62 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5.

`(62)/(5)` = x

Simplify.

`12 (2)/(5)\ or\ 12.4 = x`
