Question

A number is divided by 4, and the quotient is added to 3. The result is 24. What is the number? (Please show how you got it)

(n/4) + 3 = 24

Answer 1

84

Explanation:

(x/4) + 3 = 24

so in this case try and make x the subject or in other words try to leave x on one side of the equation.

(x/4) = 24 - 3

(x/4) = 21

now multiply 21 by 4 using cross multiplication

so x= 84
