I am thinking of a number.

I multiply it by 10 and subtract 106.
I get the same answer if I multiply
by 6 and subtract 6.
What is my number?

Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

Because the give the same number they are equal!

x = the number

10x - 106 = 6x - 6

4x = -6 + 106

4x = 100

x = 25

Thanks for the question! :)
