Question

Four more than 6 times a number

is the same as 9 times the number
increased by 10. Find the number.

Answer 1

x= -2

Explanation:

suppose,

the number is x

so,

Four more than 6 times a number = 6.x+4=6x+4

9 times the number increased by 10 =9x+10

Now,

6x+4 = 9x+10

⇒9x-6x=4-10

⇒3x=-6

⇒x=- 6/3 [divide both sides by 3 ]

⇒x= -2
