The sum of a number, n, and a number 5 larger than it is 41. Which of the following equations could be used to solve for the number ?

(1) n t 5n =41 (3) 5 ( n+1 )= 41


(2) n + n + 5 = 41 (4) 5n + n + 1 = 41

Verified Answer :

This is looking for the sum of 2 numbers: n and "5 larger than n"
"5 larger than n" is equivalent to n + 5
Now we have n + n + 5
The problem says this is 41, so
n + n + 5 = 41
which is #2

The equation that can be used to solve for the number is n + 5n = 41

Addition is a the process of determining the total value of two or more numbers by summing them together. The addition sign is '+'. Addition is one of the basic mathematical operation.

The following information was provided in the question:

  • The first number = n
  • the second number sum is five times n = 5 x n = 5n
  • The sum of the two numbers = 41

This information can be represented with this equation: n + 5n = 41
