1) Solve the following equations : a)x/5 + 10 =15 b) 25x + 26 = 101 2) Four less than a number is 10 . b)The product of three and a number equals 12

1a) 25, 1b) 3, 2a) 14, 2b) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1a)

x/5 + 10 = 15

Subtract 10 from both sides:

x/5 = 15 - 10

x/5 = 5

Multiply both sides by 5:

x = 5 * 5

x = 25

1b)

25x + 26 = 101

Subtract 26 from both sides:

25x = 101 - 26

25x = 75

Divide both sides by 25:

x = 75/25

x = 3

2a)

Four less than a number is 10.

Let's call the number x. This means:

x - 4 = 10

Now add 4 to both sides:

x = 10 + 4

x = 14

2b)

The product of three and a number equals 12.

Let's call the number x. This means:

3 * x = 12

Now divide both sides by 3:

x = 12/3

x = 4
