Solution:
\(Given:\)
Let the number of boxesbefore the addition of 60 boxes = ‘12x’
Let the number of boxesafter the addition of 60 boxes =‘14y’
To find:
How many boxes were in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived? We need find basically the value of“12x”.
Inferences:
From the question statement we can get;
\(14y = 12x + 60\) Dividing by “2”; we get;
\(7y = 6x + 30\)\(7y = 6(x + 5)\)
Here we can see that 6 is not divisible by 7; hence “(x+5)” must be divisible
