Question

If 139 is added to a number, the result is 44 less than four times the number. Find the number. Step 1 of 2: Use the variable x to set up an equation to solve the given problem. Set up the equation, but do not take steps to solve it.​

Answer 1

73

Explanation:

let the number = X

If 139 is added, it becomes= X +139

the result becomes 44less than four time the number

= 4(39)-44 = 156-44 =112

the set up equation becomes

X +39 = 112

solving for the value of X

X = 112-39

X = 73
