Question

What is 1+ X/5=6 (find the value of x to see what number makes 6)

Answer 1

x = 25

Explanation:

To find out what the value of X is, we can solve the given problem algebraically:

1 +
`(x)/(5)` = 6

Susbtract 1 from both sides:

1 - 1 +
`(x)/(5)` = 6 - 1

`(x)/(5)` = 5

Multiply 5 on both sides to isolate X:

`((x)/(5)) 5 = 5(5)`

x = 25

Therefore, X = 25.

To check whether this is the correct answer, substitute the value of X into the given equation:

1 +
`(x)/(5)` = 6

1 +
`(25)/(5)` = 6

1 + 5 = 6

6 = 6 (True statement).
