Answer:

The correct answer is 18

the correct expression is (4n+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n

therefore  if he is required to multiply n by 4 and added to 6 we have

(4n+6)= 0-----1

given that he did otherwise by adding 6 to n and multiply by 4 we have

(n+6)4= 36------2

Firstly we need to solve for n in equation 2

4n+24= 36\\4n= 36-24\\4n= 12\\

Dividing both sides by 4 we have

n= \frac{12}{4\\}\\n= 3

In order to solve for the correct answer let us input n=3 in equation 1 we have

=(4n+6)= 0-------1\\=(4*3+6)= 0\\=(12+6)=0\\= 18
