Xiao Ming and Xiao Li are fond of collecting stamps. Xiao Li said: if you take 2 / 5 of Xiao Ming's stamps and 4 / 7 of mine, the rest of our stamps will be equal Xiao Ming said: I collected 14 less stamps than Xiao Li. How many stamps did they collect


Suppose Xiao Ming has x stamps, then Xiao Li has x + 14 stamps
X (1-2 / 5) = (x + 14) * (1-4 / 7)
Calculate x = 35
So Xiao Ming has 35 stamps and Xiao Li has 49 stamps



Xiao Li and Miss Wang collected 876 stamps. It is known that the number of stamps collected by Miss Wang is more than 12 times that of Xiao Li by 5. How many stamps do miss Wang and Miss Wang collect?


Let X be the number of stamps collected by Xiao Li, and (12x + 5) be the number of stamps collected by Mr. Wang, x + 12x + 5 = 876, & nbsp; 13X + 5 = 876, 13X + 5-5 = 876-5, & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; 13X = 871, 13X △ 13 = 871 △ 13, & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; X = 67, 12 × 67 + 5, = 804 + 5, = 809 (sheets). Answer: Mr. Wang collects 809 stamps, and Xiao Li collects 67 stamps

I understand the formula equation, but how to explain it without 12 + 1 in the equation solution?


Because the teacher's is 12 times of Xiao Li's, plus Xiao Li's is 12 + 1
