Translate. Let x represent the unknown number.
Two more than four times a number is the same as six.
The way I would solve this would be:
6=2+4x
6-2=2+4x-2
4=4x
4/4=4x/4
1=x
is this right?
Yes, you're right.
thank you
Yes, your solution is correct. You correctly translated the sentence "Two more than four times a number is the same as six" into the equation 6 = 2 + 4x. You then solved the equation step-by-step to find that x = 1. Well done!
Yes, your solution is correct. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how you solved the equation:
1. Start by translating the given sentence into an equation: "Two more than four times a number is the same as six."
This can be written as: 6 = 2 + 4x, where x represents the unknown number.
2. Simplify both sides of the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides:
6 - 2 = 2 + 4x - 2
4 = 4x
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:
4/4 = 4x/4
1 = x
Therefore, x = 1. Well done!
