Question

The 1991 Tractor has a horse power of 195, which is five less than four times the horsepower of the Cinderella's carriage. What was the horsepower of the carriage?

Answer 1

To find the horsepower of Cinderella's carriage, set up an equation using the given information and solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will need to set up an equation using the given information.

Let's let x represent the horsepower of Cinderella's carriage.

According to the problem, we have the equation: 195 = 4x - 5.

To solve for x, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate 4x.

This gives us 4x = 195 + 5. Simplifying, we have 4x = 200.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x, giving us x = 50.

Answer 2

The horsepower of the carriage is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the horsepower of the carriage=x

ATQ, 195+5=4x, x=50.
