Question Number 214321 by MathematicsExpert last updated on 05/Dec/24
15x(((6x)/(10))+((12x)/(20))+((15x)/(30))+...+((60x)/(100)))=160  solve for x
$$\mathrm{15}{x}\left(\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}}{\mathrm{10}}+\frac{\mathrm{12}{x}}{\mathrm{20}}+\frac{\mathrm{15}{x}}{\mathrm{30}}+…+\frac{\mathrm{60}{x}}{\mathrm{100}}\right)=\mathrm{160} \\ $$$$\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:{x} \\ $$

15x(((6x)/(10)) + ((12x)/(20)) + ((15x)/(30)) + ... + ((60x)/(100))) = 160  ⇒ 15x(((3x)/5) + ((3x)/5) + ((3x)/5) + ... + ((3x)/5)) = 160  ⇒ 15x.10 × ((3x)/5) = 160  ⇒ 15x.6x = 160  ⇒ 90x^2  = 160  ⇒ x^2  = ((160)/(90)) = ((16)/9)  ⇒ x = (4/3) , − (4/3)
$$\mathrm{15}{x}\left(\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}}{\mathrm{10}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{12}{x}}{\mathrm{20}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{15}{x}}{\mathrm{30}}\:+\:…\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{60}{x}}{\mathrm{100}}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{160} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{15}{x}\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}{x}}{\mathrm{5}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{x}}{\mathrm{5}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{x}}{\mathrm{5}}\:+\:…\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{x}}{\mathrm{5}}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{160} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{15}{x}.\mathrm{10}\:×\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{x}}{\mathrm{5}}\:=\:\mathrm{160} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{15}{x}.\mathrm{6}{x}\:=\:\mathrm{160} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{90}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{160} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\frac{\mathrm{160}}{\mathrm{90}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}\:,\:−\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
