Question

When 5 times a number is added to 45 the answer is the sm of 85 and 140 what is the number

Answer 1

Hello.

First, let the number be r.

5 times r is written like this:

`\rm{5r}`

Now, add 45:

`\mathrm{5r+45}`

Now, the sum of 5r+45 is equal to the sum of 85 and 140:

`\mathrm{5r+45=85+140}`

In order to solve this equation, we need to add 85 and 140:

`\mathrm{5r+45=225}`

Now, subtract 45 from both sides:

`\mathrm{5r+45-45=225-45}`

`\mathrm{5r=225-45}`

`\mathrm{5r=180}`

The last step is to divide both sides by 5:

`\mathrm{r=36}`

Therefore, the answer is

`\rm{r=36}`

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
