Question

When six is added to four times a number the result is 42 find the number

Answer 1

Let's take the unknown number to be X.

The expression will be:

6 + 4X = 42

Let's find X:

First subtract 6 from both sides

`\begin{gathered} 6-6+4x\text{ = 42 - 6} \\ 4x\text{ = }36 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 4:

`(4x)/(4)\text{ = }(36)/(4)`
`x\text{ = 9}`

ANSWER:

9
