Question

Which problem situation matches the equation below 59+74+62+x/4=70

Answer 1

x = 85

Explanation:

The equation is not properly written. Here is the correct expression

`(59+74+62+x)/(4) = 70`

Find the problem situation that matches according to the steps below:

Step 1: We will cross multiply

`59+74+62+x = 4*70\\59+74+62+x = 280\\195+x = 280\\`

Step 2: Subtract 195 from both sides of the equation

`195+x-195 = 280-195\\x = 280-195\\x = 85`
