Question 1011577

let number be {{{x}}}
nine more than a number:{{{x+9}}} 
is the same as:=
 a quarter of the number, subtracted from twenty-four:{{{24-x/4}}}

{{{x+9=24-x/4}}} ...solve for {{{x}}}

 {{{x+x/4=24-9}}}

 {{{5x/4=15}}}

{{{5x=15*4}}}

{{{x=(cross(15)3*4)/cross(5)}}}

{{{x=3*4}}}

{{{x=12}}}

so,  the number is {{{12}}}
