Question

Nine less than one forth of a number is 6

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert into an equation

Nine less than one forth of a number is 6

$1/4x - 9 = 6$

Step 2:  Add 9 to both sides

$1/4x - 9 = 6$

$1/4x - 9 + 9= 6+ 9$

$1/4x = 15$

Step 3:  Multiply both sides by 4

$1/4x * 4 = 15 * 4$

$x = 60$

Answer:  $x = 60$
