Jo is thinking of a number four less than nine times the number is 176 find jos number

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Write as an equation (in order to represent the question better):

9x - 4 = 176

Add 4 to both sides (to remove the '-4' on the left-hand side):

9x = 180

Divide both sides by 9 (to find x):

x = 20
