Question 912447

you are thinking of a number {{{x}}}
when you multiply it by {{{12}}} and subtract {{{181}}}:

{{{12x-181}}}

you get the same answer if I multiply by {{{4}}} and subtract {{{5}}}:

equal to {{{4x-5}}}


{{{12x-181=4x-5}}} ..solve for {{{x}}}

{{{12x-4x=181-5}}}

{{{8x=176}}}

{{{x=176/8}}}

{{{x=22}}}


so, you are thinking of a number {{{22}}}
