14 - x = 21
x = ?
The furniture factory made 44 recliners in a day.
The equation is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.
We have been given that furniture factory makes 5 recliners for every 2 couches.
Let the number of recliners would be x
And the number of couches would be y
As per the given condition, the equation would be :
⇒ 5x = 2y
⇒ x = 2/5 y
Since the factory makes a total of 154 recliners and couches in a day
So x + y = 154
⇒ 2/5y + y = 154
⇒ 2/5y + 5/5y = 154
⇒ 7/5y = 154
⇒ 7y = 770
⇒ y = 110
Substitute the value of y = 110 in the equation x + y = 154, we get
⇒ x +110 = 154
⇒ x = 44
Therefore, the furniture factory made 44 recliners in a day.
