Question

Write the following statements in the form of equations.

$\frac{1}{5}th$ of a number $x$ added to $5$gives $14$

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{5}th$ of a number $x$ means $\frac{1}{5}\times x=\frac{x}{5}$

Given, $\frac{1}{5}th$ of a number $x$ added to $5$gives $14$

Hence, the equation is $\frac{x}{5}+5=14$
