Your question has me a little bit confused. First you say you want the "sum", so I get
ready to do addition. But then you go ahead and talk about "times", and that usually
means multiplying.
If you want the sum:
24 + (-5x) + (-x) = 24 - 6x and that's also the same as 6 (4 - x) .
If you want the 'product':
(24) times (-5x) times (-x) = 120x2 .
Either way, the answer stands for a number, but you can't figure out what the
number is until you know what number 'x' is.
Let the number be x: 5x+x = 24 6x = 24 x = 4
5x - 11 = 24 5x = 35 x = 7
2.6666666666666 infinite , or 4. Depending how the question is actually worded. if it is: 4 + (5x) = 24 then x is 4 Proof: 5x + 4 = 24 5x = 24 -4 5x = 20 x = 20/5 = 4 if it is: (4 + 5)x = 24 then x is 2.6666666 infinite Proof: (4+5)x = 24 9x = 24 x = 24/9 = 2 6/9 = 2.6666666 ....
X2 - 5X = 24 X2 - 5X - 24 = 0 (X - 8)(X + 3) X = 8 ----------------and X = - 3 --------------
8x = 5x+24 8x-5x = 24 3x = 24 x = 8
Let the number be x: 5x+x = 24 6x = 24 x = 4
5x - 11 = 24 5x = 35 x = 7
Let x represent the number. 2 times the number would be 2x, and 5 times the number would be 5x. The sum of the two would be 2X + 5x = 7x
2.6666666666666 infinite , or 4. Depending how the question is actually worded. if it is: 4 + (5x) = 24 then x is 4 Proof: 5x + 4 = 24 5x = 24 -4 5x = 20 x = 20/5 = 4 if it is: (4 + 5)x = 24 then x is 2.6666666 infinite Proof: (4+5)x = 24 9x = 24 x = 24/9 = 2 6/9 = 2.6666666 ....
6x + 4 = 5x x = -4
x2-5x = 24 x2-5x-24 = 0 (x-8)(x+3) = 0 x = 8 or x -3
5x+17
X2 - 5X = 24 X2 - 5X - 24 = 0 (X - 8)(X + 3) X = 8 ----------------and X = - 3 --------------
8x = 5x+24 8x-5x = 24 3x = 24 x = 8
9x
As an algebraic expression it is: 5(x+6) which is equivalent to 5x+30
24(x + 2.25)
