Question

When 6 is added to four times a number, the result is 50.

Find The Number

Answer 1

x= 11 (The number is 11)

Explanation:

(1. We can represent this as 4x+6=50 because we are adding 6 to 4 times a number. We can represent 4 times a number as 4x. When 6 is added to 4x, it equals 50.

(2. Now we solve. First take away 6 from each side. (50-6=44. 6-6=0) And divide 44 by 4. (44/4=11)

(3. x=11

(4. Now lets check. 11 times 4 equals 44. 44 plus 6 equals 50.

Hope this helps.
