Answer:

x = 48

here's your solution

=>. let the number be. X

=> now , quater of this number = X/4

=> then 6 is added to it

=> we get this. =. 6 + X/4

=> it is given that this number is equal to 18

=>. so, our final equation is 6 + X/4 = 18

=> solve , X/4 = 18 - 6

=> X/4 = 12

=>. X = 12*4

=> X = 48

hope it helps
