Subtract 8 from me. Then add 21. If you divide me by 4 and add 21 you get 29. What number am I?

Answer:

19

Explanation:

x - 8 + 21 ÷ 4 + 21 = 29

x - 8 + 21 ÷ 4 = 29 - 21

= 8

x - 8 + 21 = 8 x 4

= 32

x - 8 = 32 - 21

= 11

x = 11 + 8

= 19

Therefore the number is 19. A bit confusing to me at first but I solved it :)
