Answer:
The number you are looking for is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Half the difference of the fourth multiple of a number and 16 equaling 6 looks like this equation:
N - 16/2 = 6.
The first step to finding the value of "N" is to multiply each side by 2.
2(N - 16/2) = 2(6).
The result is N - 16 = 12.
Next, you need to isolate "N" by itself.
Perform inverse operations to get "N" by itself. We need to get rid of -16.
The inverse operation of subtraction is addition.
So add 16 to both sides.
N - 16 + 16 = 12 + 16.
The result is N = 28.
That means the number that makes the problem true is 28.
Let's check to make sure by plugging 28 into the original equation.
28 - 16/2 = 6.
12/2 = 6.
6 = 6.
So the answer to this question is that the number is 28.
