Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we call the number X
x/5 is the fifth part of that number
I propose equality:
x + x/5 = 17
we add the fractions on the left side:
6x/5 = 17
We pass 5 to multiply to the other side:
6x = 5 * 17
6x = 85
we clear x
x = 85/6
x = 14.17
test
14.17 + 2.83 = 17
okay
Answer:
14.1666666667
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the equation as:
x + x/5 = 17
=> 5/5x + 1/5x = 17
=> 6/5x = 17
=> 6x = 17 * 5
=> 6x = 85
=> x = 85/6
=> x = 14.1666666667
Let's check whether our answer is correct
=> 14.1666666667 + 14.1666666667 / 5 = 17
=> 14.1666666667 + 2.83333333333 = 17
=> 17 = 17
So, the answer is 14.1666666667
