Question

Mrs Smith is completing a mathematics problem. She knows when 6 is added to four times a number, the result is 50. What would be the equation she should write to begin her work?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION:

-To formulate an equation, you must first know what data the exercise gives us to locate them correctly.

data:

-6 that must be added to a number.

-four times a number that is equal to 4x

-a result that is equal to 50

Now with these data we formulate the equation:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Equation:} \\ 6+4x=50;\text{ } \end{gathered}$

if we solve the equation we have:

$\begin{gathered} 6\text{ }+4x=50 \\ 4x=50-6 \\ 4x=44 \\ x=\frac{44}{4} \\ x=-\frac{22}{2} \\ x=\text{ }-11 \end{gathered}$
