Question

27. If three more than one-fourth of a number is

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n , then

$\frac{1}{4}$ n + 3 = n - 3 ( multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction )

n + 12 = 4n - 12 ( subtract 4n from both sides )

- 3n + 12 = - 12 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 3n = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

n = 8

That is the number is 8
