Question

Nine less than one forth of a number is 6

Answer 1

`x = 60`

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert into an equation

Nine less than one forth of a number is 6

`1/4x - 9 = 6`

Step 2: Add 9 to both sides

`1/4x - 9 = 6`

`1/4x - 9 + 9= 6+ 9`

`1/4x = 15`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4

`1/4x * 4 = 15 * 4`

`x = 60`

Answer:
`x = 60`
