Question 471992
let number be {{{x}}}

one-fourth of the square root of 9 less than a number is 3:

{{{x-(1/4)*sqrt(9)=3}}}


{{{x-(1/4)3=3}}}


{{{x-(3/4)=3}}}


{{{4x-4(3/4)=4*3}}}


{{{4x-3=12}}}


{{{4x=12+3}}}


{{{4x=15}}}


{{{x=15/4}}}


check:

{{{15/4-3/4=3}}}


{{{(15-3)/4=3}}}


{{{12/4=3}}}


{{{3=3}}}
