Question

Four times a number increased by 25 is 13 less than six times the number. Find the number

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".

According to the problem:

4x + 25 = 6x - 13

To solve for x, we can start by isolating the x term on one side of the equation. Let's subtract 4x from both sides:

4x + 25 - 4x = 6x - 13 - 4x

25 = 2x - 13

Next, let's add 13 to both sides:

25 + 13 = 2x - 13 + 13

38 = 2x

Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

38/2 = 2x/2

19 = x
