Algebra Problem!?

Question

The fifth, fifteenth and fiftieth parts of the number x together make 43.

How can I find x?

Please help

Answer 1

1. x/5 + x/15 + x/50 = 43
2. 150 (x/5 + x/15 + x/50) = 43(150)
3. 30x + 10x + 3x = 6450
4. 43x = 6450
5. x = 150
6. Check step:
a. 150/5 + 150/15 + 150/50 -> 30+10+3 = 43

Answer 2

x/5 + x/15 + x/50 = 43
common denomenator seems to be 150
so we multiply all by 150 - both sides

30x + 10x + 3x = 43 x 150

ok - it's set up - you got it from here - I have faith

and you

Have a Merry Christmas!!!

o this is tooo cool - - -I just figured it out - without a calculator!!

43x = 43 x 150

welllllllll doh!!!!!!!!!!!!

and have a great 2008 !
Happy New Year

oh yeah - u did get x = 150?? right

Answer 3

x/5 + x/15 +x/50 = 43(given)
=>now,take LCM of denominator which comes out to be 150(hope u know how to do it)
30x + 10x +3x
-------------------- = 43
150
=>43x = 150 * 43(by adding numerator and multiplying denominator with the right hand side)
=>now,as you have 43 on both the sides you can cancel it.
=>that's all!!!!you got your answer----x=150

Answer 4

Your wording is really hard to understand but this is how I'd do it depending if my interpretation of your question is right.

set up: x/5 + x/15 + x/50 = 43
common denominator: 150x/750 + 50x/750 +15x/750 = 43
add: 215x/750 = 43
simplify: 43x/150 = 43
multiply: 43x = 6450
divide: x = 150

so x = 150

hopefully that was what you were looking for

Answer 5

1/5x + 1/15x + 1/50x = 43

43/150x = 43

43x = 43(150)

x = 150

Answer 6

(1/5)x+(1/15)x+(1/50)x=(1/5+1/15+1/50)x=43

x=43/(1/5+1/15+1/50)

so just get a calculator or if your cool, get an abacus

can u give numbers word make it difficult
