Four less than the quotient of a number and 4 is 14. What is the number? Let n be the unknown number.

8 0

So the equation is n/4-4=14
then you +4 to both sides
n/4-4=14 so now the equation is n/4=18 then you multiply 18 by 4 and get 72
+4 +4
then to check your work
72/4-4=14
so N=72
Hope I helped :)

Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)

[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
