Can you define the variable,
four more than a number divided by 2 is ten.
let the number be x
x/2 + 4 = 10
carry on
1.5×+2>3×+10=×>42.8+2×< or equal too 6×-20×> or .......
To define the variable, let's break down the statement "four more than a number divided by 2 is ten" into an algebraic equation.
Let's assume the variable is represented by the letter "x".
The statement "four more than a number" can be written as (x + 4).
The phrase "divided by 2" means we divide the number (x) by 2, which can be expressed as (x/2).
Now, the complete equation can be written as "(x/2) + 4 = 10".
To find the value of the variable (x), we can solve this equation.
Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation gives: (x/2) = 10 - 4, which simplifies to (x/2) = 6.
To isolate the variable, we multiply both sides of the equation by 2: 2 * (x/2) = 2 * 6.
This simplifies to x = 12.
Therefore, the defined variable is x = 12.
