Question

5. Two more than One-fourth of a number is six, what is the number.​

Answer 1

2(1/4x)=6 you should be able to solve in this form hope this makes it a little easier

Answer 2

Explanation:

We can construct the equation by breaking down the parts of the problem statement. Let's say that [text]N[/tex] is the number that we are trying to solve for in this problem:

"one-fourth of a number" =
`(1)/(4)N`

"two more than one-fourth of a number" =
`(1)/(4)N + 2`

"two more than one-fourth of a number is six" =
`(1)/(4)N + 2 = 6`

Now that we have our equation, we can solve for
`N`:

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`(1)/(4)N = 4`

Multiply both sides by 4:

`N = 16`
