Question

a,\(\dfrac{59-x}{41}\)\(+\)\(\dfrac{57-x}{43}\)\(+\dfrac{55-x}{45}\)\(+\dfrac{53-x}{47} \)\(+\dfrac{51-x}{49} \)\(=-5\)

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{59-x}{41}+\dfrac{57-x}{43}+\dfrac{55-x}{45}+\dfrac{53-x}{47}+\dfrac{51-x}{49}=-5\)

\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{59-x}{41}+1+\dfrac{57-x}{43}+1+\dfrac{55-x}{45}+1+\dfrac{53-x}{47}+1+\dfrac{51-x}{49}+1=0\)\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{100-x}{41}+\dfrac{100-x}{43}+\dfrac{100-x}{45}+\dfrac{100-x}{47}+\dfrac{100-x}{49}=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\left(100-x\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{43}+\dfrac{1}{45}+\dfrac{1}{47}+\dfrac{1}{49}\right)=0\)

\(\Rightarrow100-x=0\Rightarrow x=100\)
