Let that number be x.
"When 22 is subtract from 6 times a certain number, the result is 104" This means that when we subtract 22 from 6 times x, we get 104. This can be represented by 6x - 22 = 104. We need to solve for x.
First, let's add 22 in both sides so we can get ride of "-22" in the first side and have the variable x on a side, and the number on the other side.
6x - 22 + 22 = 104 + 22
6x = 126.
Then, we divide each side by 6 so we get the variable x alone on a side, and its value on the other:
(6x)/6 = 126/6
x=21.
So the number is 21.
You can re-check your answer (very important):
6x-22 = 6*21 - 22 = 126 - 22 = 104
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
