1.	divide 25 in to 2 parts such that 7 times the first part added to 5 time the second part makes 139
Answer» This word problem related to linear equations in one variable. Given sum of two parts = 25 Let first part = x second part should be = 25 - x 7 times the first part = 7x 5 times the second part = 5( x - 25 ) Given relation between to parts is 7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part = 139 Now write the word problem into Linear equation 7x + 5( 25 - x ) = 139 7x + 125 - 5x = 139 2x = 139 - 125 2x = 14 x = 14/ 2 x = 7 Therefore First part = x = 7 Second part = 25 - x = 25 - 7 = 18

Answer»

This word problem related to linear

equations in one variable.

Given sum of two parts = 25

Let first part = x

second part should be = 25 - x

7 times the first part = 7x

5 times the second part = 5( x - 25 )

Given relation between to parts is

7 times the first part added to 5 times

the second part = 139

Now write the word problem into

Linear equation

7x + 5( 25 - x ) = 139

7x + 125 - 5x = 139

2x = 139 - 125

2x = 14

x = 14/ 2

x = 7

Therefore

First part = x = 7

Second part = 25 - x = 25 - 7 = 18
