Question

Four times a number, plus 6 equals 58. What is the equation to represent this situation and what is the number?"

Answer 1

Answer: $x = 13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be $x$ , then from the question :

$4x + 6 = 58$

subtract 6 from both sides , we have

$4x = 58 - 6$

$4x = 52$

divide through by 4

$x = 52/4$

$x = 13$

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+6=58

4x+6-6=58-6

4x / 4 =52/ 4

x=13
