A number is multiplied by 6. If 8 is subtracted from the product you get 34. What is the number? 4 6 7 8

A number is divided by 2. If 16 is added to the quotient you get 20. What is the number? 2 8 18 72

Answer 1

first answer:7 Second answer:8

Explanation:

First I added the 8 back to 34 giving me the product of 6 and the unknown number 42 I divided that by 6 to find out what six was multiplied by to get 42 giving me 7.

Second explanation: First I subtracted 16 from 20 to get the quotient of N divided by 2 which is four, then I multiplied it by 2 giving me 8.

Answer 2

6x-8=34
6x=42
x=7

x/2+16=20
x/2=20-16
x/2=4
x=8
