Let's say the number is x.

The equation will be:
1/3x + 12 = x
(one third of a number + 12 equals to the number)
Solving the equation:
subtract 1/3x from both sides:
12 = 2/3x
divide by 2
6 = 1/3x
multiply with 3
18 = x

Your number is 18, its one-third is 6, which is 12 less than the number itself.

wel

Answer:

127 per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pushups in 4 weeks = 3,556

4-week period( 7 days a week) = 4 × 7

How many push-ups did Joey do each day?

Push ups per day = Total push ups / Total number of days

= 3,556 / 28

= 127

Push ups per day = 127

Joey did 127 push-ups each day for a 4-week period( 7 days a week)
