when 4 is added to a number and the result divided by 5, the final result is 44 less than the original number.
Find the number ?
:
Write an equation for exactly what it says:
= n - 44
Multiply both sides by 5, resulting in:
4 + n = 5(n-44)
4 + n = 5n - 220
4 + 220 = 5n - n
224 = 4n
n =
n = 56

Check solution in original equation
= 56 - 44
= 12; confirms our solution
