Let x represent the unknown number.
.
The product of 4 and the number is the product of 4 and x ... or 4x.
.
Nine more than 4x is 4x + 9
.
And that is to equal 73. In equation form this is:
.
4x + 9 = 73
.
Subtract 9 from both sides of this equation to get rid of the 9 on the left side and the
equation becomes:
.
4x = 64
.
Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4 and the result is:
.
x = 64/4 = 16
.
The unknown number is 16.
.
Hope this helps you to see your way through the problem.
