The initial equation is: 5 ( x + 1 ) = 115
Let's transform it for x: 5 x + 5 = 115
... distract 5: 5 x = 110
... divide both sides by 5: x = 22
Write the follow equation accordin the text of the task:
5 ( x + 1 ) = 115
Solve the equation:
5 ( x + 1 ) = 115 5 x + 5 = 115 5 x = 115 − 5 5 x = 110 x = 5 110 x = 22
The number is found to be 22 after solving the equation which stems from the statement that five times the sum of a number and one equals 115. We achieved this by isolating the variable and simplifying the equation step-by-step. Thus, substituting back verifies that five times the sum results in the given condition.
