Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be A

Given if you divide the sum of six and the number A by 3 , the result is 4 more than 1/4 of A

That’s

6+A/3 = 4+1/4 of A

6+A/3 = 4+1/4 x A

6+A/3 = 4+A/4

Cross multiply

4(6 + A) = 3(4 + A)

Distribute

4 x 6 + 4 x A = 3 x 4 + 3 x A

24 + 4A = 12 + 3A

Subtract 24 from both sides to eliminate 24 on the left side

24 - 24 + 4A = 12 - 24 + 3A

4A = -12 + 3A

Subtract 3A from both sides so the unknown can be on one side

4A - 3A = -12 + 3A - 3A

A = -12

Check

6+(-12)/3 = 4 +(-12)/4

6 -12/3 = 4 -12/4

-6/3 = -8/4

-2 = -2

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(6+x)/3=0.25x+4

6+x=(0.25x+4)(3)

6+x=0.75x+12

x-0.75x=12-6

0.25x=6

x=6/0.25

x=24

a square sandbox has an area of 42 squareft what is the approximate perimeter of the sandbox to the nearest hundredth
Ugo [173]

The area of a square is its side length squared. So the side length of the square squared is 42, so the side length of the square is sqrt(42). The perimeter of the square is 4 times the side length, or 4sqrt(42), which is approximately 25.92.
