Question 825212: I think of a number. If I divide the sum of 6 and the number by 3, the result is 4 more than one quarter of the number. Find the number.
I know the answer is 24, but I'm a bit confused on how to get the answer.
Thanks :) Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (6+x)/3=0.25x+4
6+x=(0.25x+4)(3)
6+x=0.75x+12
x-0.75x=12-6
0.25x=6
x=6/0.25
x=24
Set up the problem just like it is written.
