My father

My father has a big farm. He planted 6/8 of it with mango trees, 1/2 of the remainder are guava trees, and the remaining 10 trees are santol trees. What is the number of all trees?

Correct answer:

n =  80

Step-by-step explanation:

86 n + 21   (n  86 n) + 10 = n 86 n + 21   82 n + 10 = n 86 n + 81 n + 10 = n  87 n + 10 = n 7 n + 80 = 8n 80 = 1n  n=80   Verifying Solution:   6/8 x+1/2 (x6/8 x)+10=x  6/8 x+1/2 (x6/8 x)+10=x  x=80  x=180=80  x=80

I have written my own equation like this: Let x is the total number of trees, then, the equation will be like this:

6x/8+2x/16+10=x
12x/16+2x/16+160/16=x
14x/16+160/16=x
16x=14x+160
16x-14x=160
2x=160
2x/2=160/2
x=80
