Thank you in advance:) Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = "a number"
:
A number is added to the sum of 184 tens, 23 hundreds and the least 4-digit odd number.
x + 184(10) + 23(100) + 1001
x + 1840 + 2300 + 1001
x + 5141
:
The result is the greatest four-digit even number.
x + 5141 = 9998
x = 9998 - 5141
x = 4857
