Given that
5 X = a , 8 X = b , 6 X = c , 2 X = d ,
then what is the value of X if
X = a + b + c + d + 3 ?

elegant! It doesn't have any angles, but the answer is of interest to people who study angles, whether they have a degree or not!
I did it the same way
How did u get 24x +15x+20x+60x/120

By taking LCM
Find LCD of 120
Why don't we take the LCM of 3

We took the LCD of all the terms (120), then multiplied the numerator and denominator of each fraction by factors with respect to their denominators so that each denominator is 120. The denominator in the last term, 3 (3/1), is 1. We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 120 to keep the fractional expression proportion. Hence the term 3 is changed to 360/120.
answer give me
Same i have solve it .
why did it become 24x if 120/5 is 25
x = 5 a = 8 b = 6 c = 2 d = > a = 2 d / 5 ; b = d / 4 ; c = d / 3 = > ( 2 d / 5 ) + ( d / 4 ) + ( d / 3 ) + d + 3 = 2 d = > d = 1 8 0 = > x = 2 d = 3 6 0
Substituting values in given equation we get 120 X =119X +360 that is X =360 Ans K.K.GARG,India
put the values of a,b,c and d in the given equation.after solving you get x=360
it's simple plus and minus
x = x(1/5+1/8+1/6+1/2) + 3
x = 119x/120 + 3
x = 119x + 360 / 120
120x = 119x + 360
120x - 119x = 360
x = 360
X/5 + X/8 + X/6 + X/2 = 238X/240 + 3 = (238X+ 720)/240
X = (238X+ 720)/240
Multiplying the obove equation we obtain :
240X = 238X+ 720
then solving for X we obtain X = 360
X=a+b+c+d+3 then X= X(1\5+ 1\8+ 1\6+ 1\2)+3, X= X(119\120)+ 3 multiplying by 120 then 120X= 118X+ 360 finally X=360
You just need to add up the values of a,b,c,d in terms of x and simplify.

Very easy, see X = a + b + c + d + 3 = 5 X + 8 X + 6 X + 2 X + 3 which is 1 2 0 2 4 X + 1 5 X + 2 0 X + 6 0 X + 3 = 1 2 0 1 1 9 X + 3 = X . Multiplying the equation by 1 2 0 is 1 1 9 X + 3 6 0 = 1 2 0 X so X = 3 6 0 .
