Question

- If you divide a number by four and then add six, you get eighteen. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation to represent this, where x is the unknown number.

$\frac{x}{4}$ + 6 = 18

Solve for x, by first subtracting 6 from both sides:

$\frac{x}{4}$ = 12

Multiply each side by 4:

x = 48

So, the number is 48

Answer 2

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say x is our number

if we divide it by 4 we get

$x\rightarrow\frac{x}{4}$

if we add 6 we get

$x\rightarrow\frac{x}{4} \rightarrow\frac{x}{4}+6$

and that equals 18 so

$\frac{x}{4}+6=18\\\\\frac{x}{4}+6-6=18-6\\\\\frac{x}{4}+0=12\\\\\frac{x}{4}=12\\\\4(\frac{x}{4})=4(12)\\\\x=48$

so our number is 48
